why? as long as you have the amperage coming in your fine, 10 amps will run a 2000 watt no problem, ok you may have to turn it off for a few mins if you want to boil the kettle but thats not really a hardship is it?

We use a normal domestic 2kw convector heater if it's cold overnight. It's only ever on the 1kw setting, and it's thermostatically controlled, but it keeps our van toasty. I must admit we don't go away when it's really cold, but even some evenings in May or September can be decidedly nippy. I imagine our heater would still warm our van up nicely even in January of February if we wanted it to though. We like the convector heater rather than a fan heater because it's virtually silent and can be left on all night if we need it. The only noise it makes is the occasional click of the thermostat.

Does your van not have its own heater then?

We have the Alde heating, its very good, we just turn the thermostat down at night. You can set it on timed just like at home.
We have a ceramic fan heater which we used to use in previous vans but is occasionally used in the awning now. It has a cold setting so useful in summer!

The Alde is gas or electric, like you we normally use sites with hook up.
The only time its been on gas is during annual services!
It has 3 settings 1, 2 and 3 KW for heat and a variable control for water, which we set to half.
On our recent trips away we used a no facilities site, the hot water was lovely for showering.
The heating did actually come on a couple of nights, wife set it to 15 or thereabouts.

Yes it does, and it works fine, but I'd never leave it on overnight. The other thing is that we always go to sites with EHU because we have a mains-only fridge, so as we are paying way over the odds for electricity anyway, why not use it.

Yes my gas heater vents through the floor Billy.
