Just bought a halogen heater for bargain price of £7.50 at no frills. Has anyone used one of these in their tent June   bloodfairy

get  a fan heater they are better

also the light from the halogen makes your tent look like a ufo grounded

Its all down to personal preference I think. I prefer the fan heater for a couple of reasons - 1. you can leave it on thermostat all night and 2. The last time we took it on a camping trip with friends they were concerned we might be mistaken for an aircraft landing light. I notice they didnt refuse to sit near it though! Halogens are very bright to the extent that sometimes you can get away without any other lighting. Ok til you realise that you are giving the rest of the campsite a "shadow puppet" show while you try to get changed in the tent.   

Sounds like best option is fan heater with red bulb inside like those old log effect fires.

 Blimey it works! I'm baking now,lol.

Thank you all for yours replies I have now gone and bought a small electric oil filled radeater has anyone used one of these. We are going to tenby on monday. June bloodfairy.

I have both a Halogen Heater and an oil filled Rad. Haven't used them yet, but will be doing so next week at Kiln Park. Will post to let you know how I get on.

Don't listen to your mothers though, they will tell you not to use Halogen Heaters!!
