looking at starting camping early this year. Obvioulsy its still prety chilly out there. We have small convection heater, which is ok but takes time to heat the living area of tent up. My mate seems to think that an oil heater would be better as you can leave it on pretty much all the time and it makes no noise so could be left on in the bedroom area. Ideas folks?

Your best bet for heating a tent is a fan heater, then you get instant heat. A tent has little insulation so summat like an oil filled rad. will lose too much heat thru the tent to be effective. You will need around 10amp ehu to run a fan heater tho.

hi, we use a paraffin heater, yes you heard correctly, a paraffin heater, paraffin is readily available at all supermarkets, its cheap and the heaters are brill, though you need an electricity supply

the only issue is that they are a lot bigger than a fan heater, but you can leave on all night on the thermostat setting, making sure it never drops below a certain temp or set to come on at a certain time in the day ! one such example is below, but they can be got cheaper in france!  we have one for our static and it heats right throughout the van if we leave doors open and is surprisingly cheap to run.
