Infrared heating

"We are in sunny Yorkshire though! (Glorious today☀️)😁'

Well please don't use up all that sunshine before we get there next week!

Yes I'm sure they don't and I think JK once said it was based an 'average' . But awning heaters are not new and certainly been going for as long as I have been using club sites. I think the 'average' will have been quite steady and known about for some time? Certainly it will go up as people want and use more electrical items?

So unless there is a new higher demand for electricity due to all the 'over there' campers now staying over here and using awning heaters I can't see a huge rise in that average? 

And of course that avaerage will take into account a higher and longer 'indoor' usage during the colder months and perhaps only using awning heaters for a few hours in the summer evening. I am certainly not saying use an awning heater during winter.

As I said while there are always yearly price rises I don't think one can put all the blame onto awning heaters? Electricity and other costs do go up of their own accord and people probably want and use more electric items in their outfits.  

A simple test is this, if heaters were banned but you think the price rises would go? 

 I think  the use of the 3bar? radiant heaters full on in empty? awnings just heating the sky ,has brought it to more notice ,and adverse (correctly in my view) comments about the waste of electric. ,when we are all being asked to save power to help keep costs down and mitigate price rises on sites

In the past the waste was not so noticed when it was possibly a convector heater of fan heater in use 

Where is Peedee when he's needed, I think I am warming to the idea of metered electricity

Warm air rises or is it cool air falls 🤔

Seriously, any good heating engineer will tell you it’s all about heat loss. You will better off, insulating than trying to pump kilowatts of heat into a structure that Just can’t retain any heat. 

Another problem will be discovered in the morning when the awning is dripping from condensation as a result trying to heat it the night before.

I would recommend dressing appropriately by putting on warmer clothing and save the lightweight ones for warmer climates.   

you get a fair bit of condensation in my awning in the morning & no heater has ever been anywhere near it.

That’s because of the temperature difference between the inside of the awning and the outside.

Theres going to be some heat escaping from the side of the caravan and the area inside of the awning will trap some of this heat compared to other areas of the caravan that are totally exposed to the outside atmosphere. 
There doesn’t have to be a great temperature difference for condensation to form. Increased ventilation of the area within the awning will help reduce the internal temperature and help reduce the amount of condensate forming. Enough ventilation could equal the temperature difference and eliminate the process.

Cheaper to just reduce the amps available before the Bollard trips
