Gas Heaters

How deep are your pockets??

I got me one o' these Site Link diesel burners, and wouldn't be without it!

Quite a bit more expensive than the portable gas heaters, but IMO the only _safe_ way to heat an enclosed space (when away from electricity, that is)...

Not only safe, but very economical, with the smallest model burning from 0.12 - 0.24 of a litre of diesel per hour, for an output equivalent to 0.9 - 2.0 kW .. plenty good enough to knock the chill off a winter morning;-))

Any gas water or space heater fitted to a caravan must draw its air from outside and exhaust the combustion products to the outside. The Coleman catalytic are not suitable for use in vans and any reference to using them in vans has been removed from their accompanying literature.

Thanks all,
I can see that if money was of no concern, then the Webasco would be the way to go. Unfortunatly I may have to go the GB route and turn it off before retiring.
I spen 3 years in the UK, the gypsies travel about in all sorts of weather, I don't know how they handle the heating.
It's normally warm enough in bed, but this year we had a problem when we came down with the flu, no problem during the day but at night it was a killer with the cold air.

Alternatively maybe if it occurs again we head straight for a caravan park for power and carry a small electric heater

hi, we bought a gas heater last winter for our van, it runs on those gas canisters (around $5 for 4 from big W) our heater cost $140 from Boots camping, have seen them in other camping stores around the same price. i can't remember the name but can find it out for you if you are interested- starts with a K i think. we used it in the van to take the chill off and it worked a treat. we made sure that the vents of the van were not covered over to allow air through and it warmed it up in no time. when it was warm enough or bed time we turned it off and have made slides out of perspex the cover over the vents in the door to keep in the heat when it's really cold.certainly well worth a look and at a good price.
good luck and stay warm, don't hesitate if you want any more info to get back in touch Chris.
