Gday,
half a carton of beer, 1 can of baked beans and an onion should do it.

Electric blankets mate, only way to go.No kidden.
We went camping a couple of weeks ago in the frost(-4) and snow in the morning and took our cheap gennies.Set them up on 20m extension cords(couldnt hear them) and had a warm as toast nights sleep.Gennie ran for 10hrs with 4 blankets on low.(yeah I know your ment to turn em off)
It was the differance between stayen at home or getten out and about.

Best and most efficient??....
I hope these Site Link are 'coz I installed one in my camper just 2 days ago.. Preliminary testing suggests that it should be the "duck's guts"..
"Real world" testing will begin 2 nights from now;-))

we have the coleman procat (the one with the fan) we went away over the easter weekend (we have a tambo trailer) and we found that one can of coleman gas per night isnt enough. really you probably need to use 2-3 and this means waking up to change the cylinder. also you are not meant to use them in an enclosed area, they must be able to vent, as the byproduct of the gas combustion is carbon monoxide. which will make you pass out and finally suffocate!

The Coleman Catalytic style heater appears to be the safest for use inside a tent.
Runs off the Coleman disposable bottle or a normal LPG bottle with an adapter hose.

Never thought of having a heater in my camper, cannot see the point, but we do have -10 rated sleeping bags, with a spare used as a throw over..

BEAUTIFUL beautiful beautiful,

And we struck some -3 to -5 nights on our last trip.

Can I ask you why not a camp fire at night ??,
Nothing better as far as my Mrs recons.

Safety, dictates that we do not have any heating inside our camper, or tents, and we have been through some pretty horid nights, with rain , wind , and just about anything that nature can throw at us, and I still will not have a heater in our tent.

We just think that people with gas heaters in tents are on a " death wish ".

Carbon monoxide poisoning and fire risk are extremely high.
Please think long and hard

Hi bauer

As we have to have to some lighting at night when it gets really cold [and we are sitting down and inactive] and we choose to use a gas lantern, we find the heat coming off that is sufficient to keep us warm until we get to bed - with heavy quilts, hot water bottles (we use the same water over and over) and thermal undies.

Happy days

We have a Rinni for our camper, the dog likes it :-))

Have a look at the Origo Heat Pal 5100 which is a metho fuel heater. Mainly used for sailing boats but works well in our Trayon!!

Did get some funny looks trying to buy 2Lts of metho in Kalgoolie!!

We preheat our c/t bed using an electric blanket - only draws 70 watts per side so 300w inverter is all that is required to be super quiet .

Granted this method is not effective in heating the room , just make a quick trip from campfire to bed!
