Thank you Snaz.  I'd recommed it too.  It does hang down quite low, but we avoided bumped heads by putting the table bench set in the middle - made it quite a sociable spot to get warm!   We loved it, and would echo everything you said, although take care that you pull the cord directly downwards as it did seem to 'catch' at one point and wouldn't come on again.  It seemed to loosen itself off after a while and worked again, but this is worth mentioning.

Happy camping!

I came across these heaters for the first time on web sites tonight and thought they looked like a decent idea. However, I would tend to agree with DD in that it may be on the large size, especially from a packing perspective.

The camp site we were at a couple of weeks ago had a strict ban on "all halogen heaters", so we wouldn't have been able to use it (assuming they can police their rule). Not sure whether that camp site was unusual in banning such heaters. Why would this be do you think? It only had 10 amp hookups, but at 1500W, this heater wouldn't trip even that.
