About £40

We love ours ,warms our Aspen 700 a treat .

If you are planning to go winter camping you might be better with an EHU an halogen but if camping in season you cant beat the blackcat!

The large canisters for it are a fiver and they last about 6 hours.

They work best if sat on a small sturdy table ,you need to be very careful to make sure the face of it never touches the tent or floor!! Although its burns without a flame and will not set fire to anything it wioll melt through anything in milliseconds.

There's a new Camping Gaz heater called a 'Blue Cat' that may also be worth considering.  It uses Camping Gaz (CV470) cartridges so would be good if you already use these for anything else.  I had a quick look and you can get them for about £30.

Otherwise the Black Cat and Blue Cat look very similar.  The Black Cat is rated at 1000W output and the Blue Cat at 850W.

You can also connect a Black Cat into your existing gas supply on the Motorhome/caravan. It's a lot cheaper than using those small disposable canisters
