Hi

I have been looking on Outwell website and seen a combined electric light/heater that hangs from the tent

I have a Montana 6 tent and although they are on the website no-one seems to have one, can anyone suggest an alternative or does anyone know where i can get one

Cheers

Hi chris dine
Sorry I have not seen these light heaters, but In my opinion I don't think they would be a good Idea, as the majority of heat would go strait out of the roof of the tent and safety may be an issue,
To heat a tent with Electric you can not beat the basic 2KW fan heater and if you have a pet or children shut it in the bed pod for safety you will still get the heat in your other areas.
Regards
Rex
PS that is the heater in the bed pod

Another heater mentioned a lot which I intend to buy for our trailer tent is the blackcat heater especially as it is flameless.

We have a montana 6 also and we use a strip light and a electric fan heater from argos for £10, it has a thermostat control and will switch off when it gets too hot, we leave it on all night when really cold and we have never had a problem.

Hope you find what your looking for.

Hi chris dine ,

We were at Kendal camping centre ( south Cumbria ), yesterday ,and saw the hanging heater lights you are looking for .

Cannot see it on their own website , but their contact details are on the home page .

http://www.kendalcamping.co.uk/index1.php

Excellent company to deal with  , buy most of our gear there .

Hope this helps .
