It's time to buy a new heater, with our 2kw one we occasionally trip the EHU and its noisy.

I've been looking at the Outwell Fan Heater as is designed expecially for camping

Ouwell.co.uk

As it a bit lower power will it heat up a Outwell Georgia XL tent?
Is it noisy, ie will it keep us awake at night?

The other option for us is move to a hotter country

The lower power is to stop people tripping the ehu and althought i am sure it will do the job, it will not be silent. I dont think there is such a thing as a silent fan heater but like a coolbox, it is a noise that you will get used to and it shouldnt keep you awake :)

Moving to a hotter country is also an option but possibly costs a little more than a heater lol

If you do a search on here you will probably find a few heater recommendations that may be cheaper as you wont be paying for the outwell name

Also worth checking if it has an automatic cut off in case it falls over. IMHO, very important if it is to be left on overnight.

I have just got a Crown Fan Heater from off eBay for £4.99

2000 w portable fan heater (Ok for 10 amp hook up)
Dual Heat settings
Thermostatic control
Fan only setting
Compact, lightweight design
Safety cut out
Integral carry handle

It's excellent

There's one for sale here on eBay. The postage is accurate. I checked on the box and it does cost £4.99 to send

The Outwell fan heater is fantastic in my opinion. Not had any problems with it and it got used a LOT last year.

Crappie? You've had TEN??? What went wrong with them?
