I must admit, for the really cold months I prefer EHU heater than the gas.It is safer to use espeacialy when taken into the bedroom pod when settling down for the night.

When I camped in March, It was bitterly cold plus it did snow which pleased our DS, but it was a toss up between EHU+a potential mudbath or NON EHU + a better pitch by the stream, but further away from the facilities.  I did choose non ehu, better pitch but a pain having to walk while its raining to wash the dishes and take the dog for a walk. This meant having to constantly dry the outer clothing.  Thankfully they had somewhere, where I could this.  Would I do that again, I don't now? I did enjoy being by the stream, DS was able skim the stones, fab views, it was great when the sun was out, very enoyable listening to the rain. 

It just depends what the pitches are like for me. for comfort and hassle free EHU.

Well we did it! Just back from 3 nights without EHU. The first night was freezing!! There was ice on the inside and outside of our tent but we were all fine as long as you didn't stick any part of body outside the covers! The next 2 nights I was actually too warm! LOL

Saying that if I camp early or late again I would probably go ehu for lighting!!

Thanks for all the help!

If you have really nice cozy sleeping bags and bedding.  you do become very warm. lol.  I get too hot sometimes and have to loose the pjs.  lol

I am pleased that you enjoyed yourselves.  Did you use any form of heating, or braved the elements without?

Thats great you had a fab time,  sooo much that you stayed put.  If I had younger children.  I definetly would not risk it with using the gas heater. 

I do prefer the EHU and use a fan heater, mine just heats the tent up just fine.  In the Summer it's not really needed but I use mine to recharge batteries.   but from time to time I do use the gas heater.  but very vigilent,  also make sure DS is nowhere near it.  

My next trip will be Easter as i did'nt go this term  very sad in deedy
