Honda EU20I running a heater

Biland trading werriee seems to be the cheapest on honda generators. [no affiliation yada yada]

I would imagine you would need a 1500w gennie to run a 1200w heater, though I wouldnt camp near anyone else, if you plan on making gennie noise during the night.

Wouldnt a gas heater be a better option?

What you need is a Honda or Yamaha running a reverse cycle airconditioner.
Way, way more efficient than a fan heater, a fraction of the power.

Why be antisocial and run a generator when you can have a diesel burning Webasto heater ducting hot air through your caravan very economically. Alegedly uses only 1 litre overnight.

You are right, running a generator for heating at night would be pretty anti-social, so not really an option I should be considering.
I had investigated the option of using gas with local caravan dealers, but they all recommended against it for safety reasons.
What's with the Webasto heater. I found it on the net, but they don't tell you much about it. I am not experimental, I like to know something will work to expectations if I buy it. Does an have any experience of it in a caravan ?

There are heaps of people staying off road all year round. What do they do for heating ? There must be some way of staying warm, or is a campfire the only option. I am not looking for lots of nights, just the occasional nigh here and there on the way to Qld, etc.

All the hire motorhomes use a gas heater,we hired one in NZ in winter and the heater was fantastic very fast to heat up the inside of a 5 berth camper I would'nt leave it on all night though.
