I don't know anything about your model of tent, but when  I camped in a tent with a SIG we used a 2KW electric fan heater, which was very effective, even when we were sitting still inside the tent e.g. in foul weather watching a dvd. When I moved to a trailer tent, the lack of SIG made the heater considerably less useful.

As tango says, if using electricity inside a tent make sure you purchase a proper, designed for purpose electric hook up. Of course, heating the inside of a tent is not very environmentally friendly, so I assume you're talking about how to keep warm when you're already wearing enough layers to be mistaken for the Michelin man!

We have both. Used gas last year (although didnt have it on when we went to bed and opened tent door just to let some fresh air in before bedtime).But found we were using a cannister nightly that lasted just 3hours so wasnt very cost effective especially as we always pay for EHU.

We now have a Honeywell electric heater - it's fab, looks stylish( to go with my colour co-ordinating bits and bobs) and can't wait to use it in the tent at the end of May!

(Sorry for all re-edits -only just learning how to post links)xxx 

Something like that would do the job fine.

Just make sure you have a proper EHU lead bought from a reputable dealer and remember to only use 1 heat emmitting appliance at any one time to avoid tripping the power.

That is the correct hook up lead at a good price.

Oil filled radiators will create a background heat but will take time to heat the tent.
A fan heater gives almost instant heat.

Is this the sort of thing we should be looking at?
