We have EHU, but always use the Black Cat as it heats the Weathermaster really well and quickly, also we are not always trying to work out if we can use this electric appliance or that one with the often limited amperage allowance in many camp sites. Another reason is that you may not always want to camp with EHU, on weekend camps for example.

Each 500g cartridge lasts about 4 to 5 hours in the Black Cat.

We use a black cat when we're camping without EHU and a 400W Halogen heater when camping with EHU. Our tent is a reasonable size and the Black Cat easily warms it up. We leave the front of the tent open when we use it so we've got ventilation ( CO gas is always a risk when using heaters like this) - and it still provides enough heat, even in November!

Thanks for the advice everybody. I have just ordered the parabolic heater so I'll see what it is like when it arrives.
