we have tried fan heaters but they can be nosily and they often interrupt any naps you may have. Halogen heaters are best, they swivel round, quite silent and the heat is directed straight. Nothing like sitting in a nice warm heated awning.
PS I might listen to the 'planet savers' when they give up towing with a large petrol or diesel engine (MH included here) with significantly reduced mpg, stop using EHU, and perhaps go back to tents and cycle to a site
sorry only joking -about being sorry that is!

Posted on 17/05/2018 11:38 by TakethedogalongI often wonder at some of the silly things folks ask such as how to update a caravan, but then some folks can't boil an egg, flush the loo, etc....
I have lots of ideas and experience on how to do up an old caravan, but as it is my brain cells in use, it will cost...........

We have a small portable Outwell heater which we keep in the van for emergencies and we have very occasionally used it in the awning. The only time we have actually used it in the awning has been when a group of us have got together in the evening and there are too many to get in the caravan - no more than on one short trip per year - and then we don't always find it necessary to use a heater. (Before anyone either complains or requests to join in, we don't have late into the night get togethers or loud parties - all done and dusted by 10pm). This year over the May BH weekend it was so warm, we sat outside in the open.
The heater I have rotates, but I don't think Outwell produce this particular heater any more. It can also double as a fan in warm weather.
