I have just come back from a weekends camping in Dorset and the evenings were quite cold in our Hartford XXL.  I have seen Black Cat heaters and were wondering if they are safe to use inside of a tent?  I really do not want to go down the EHU route but am not sure that gas and tents should be mixed.

Hello WHAFC,

Enjoyed quite a sunny break over the BH on the Ayrshire coast - Isle of Cumbrae was basking in the glorious stuff on Monday so all these posts of rain is news to me

Have to say it did get a wee bit chilly on Sunday (alright so we had a plash of rain for 20 mins or so but that doesn't really count, does it?!!) so we popped on the black cat for a bit.  Effective and quiet, only problem the dog sussed it out straight away and curled up/hogged it.

I ordered mine from the United British Caravan website for £39 + P&P - speedy service too.  Not sure if they have any left though.

Great little heaters,we have one for times we cant get a EHU. £39 is a very good price and is also available for this at several very good online retailers to. Rumour has it that coleman are supposedly releasing a replacement for the Black Cat called the Blue Cat at some time soon.

Don’t gas heaters in polyester tents add to the condensation problem?

Make sure you get one that works off the newer 500 cannisters as the older propane ones are getting hard to find.

I was thinking of ordering one last night along with our new tent, but MIL is going to buy me one for my birthday in July so will see if the Blue Cat one come out by then!
