What kind of heater?

heater??? what's wrong with a campfire, especially if you are free camping there should not be restrictions.

Track suits and windproof jackets, explorer socks and a warm doona.

Buy yourself a Ozpig.You can keep warm and cook up a feed at the same time,otherwise just crank up a good camp fire.

Hi Michelle
When touring cold areas, we use a small heater similar to this one.
We just run it for a couple of mins. to warm up the van in the mornings.

Thanks for your replies. I should have mentioned I just want a little something in the van just before bed and of a morning. It will come in especially hand if it happens to rain and anything gets damp.

Hi flashcher.
We use a single electric blanket which runs of a 300 watt inverter from an auxiliary battery in the truck.About one hour before bed on middle setting does the job.It goes along the bed and only warms from the waist down but is excellent.
There are 12 volt blanket out there but many are unreliable.
For warmth getting out of the shower we have a Coleman Cat heater from Ray's.

You can of course start a fire in the van as suggested but sort out the insurance first.

Just remember that gas heaters in an enclosed area are invitations to die if area is not ventilated.

Thanks to all who replied. Today we ordered a Coleman Pro Cat portabable propane heater.
I am more than prepared for the cold and the joy in camping is enjoying the great outdoors without all the comforts of home - but having said that the thought of living in the same PJ's for a number of days due to it being to cold to get changed was a worry...lol

In regards to the oz-pig I am secretly ordering one for hubbie for his birthday which will occur whilst we are away. In the instruction manual I will add that only the owner of the unit is allowed to prepare any meals on it...hahaha
Cheers, Michelle
