I haven't but then why would you want to ?

No gas fire equals no heating where you have not got an electric hook-up or where the camp site only has a low amperage supply ( As many European sites do ).

If you are on a 16 amp site then why not leave the gas fire where it is and use a small oil filled or fan heater?

Regardless of if you use it or not, removing it will reduce the resale value as other may well want to!

Thank you zac45 - that is exactly what we want to do. Any chance of a link to the heater you installed? Did it have any effect on your insurance premium?

I agree with you and also phil76 - the caravan was bought for us to enjoy and not as an investment to make money on if and when we sell it so if we want to change things in order to adapt to our needs and wants then I don't see why it creates a big fuss at all.. It is now 15 years old and I think we will have it until it start falling apart so who would be bothered about it not having a gas fire by then anyway?   We don't have a gas fire (or the facilities to have one) in our living room because we chose to have the loft converted and remove our chimney so does that mean we won't be able to sell our house?

We have only ever used the gas fire when really desperate - I just don't really like the idea of the fact that the flame might go out or that something may get brushed up against it. Whereas with a convector heater, as you say, it could be left on all night if necessary.
