Fan heater is defo the way to go, when we did camping we had a large 8 man tent and it heated it up a bit too warm it was really cosy we sat in ther in t.shirts, even tho the gas one was stable i wouldnt be happy leaving it on.
definatly get electric hook up you can get the cable with about 3-4 sockets on from argos and the fan heater from argos too, we got one that turn round.

I have the 2kw double burner gas heater too and use it in a tent. I don't leave the doors or windows open, like you say, defeats the object, but the tents have vents, especially the Weathermaster, that's got loads. Use it in the awning with the campervan too, again, well ventilated. Never leave it on over night though or when we go out.
P.S. Not noticed any condensation when using the gas heater.

Having electric hook up does extend your camping season a bit, but there's no reason you can't be just as comfortable in the summer months using gas and battery power.
Have a great weekend camping and take care. Just be sensible with your heater and you'll be fine. Oh and welcome to UKCS.
