Heater?

[bigdisneydaddy]

We have used an electric 1500 watt heater for years. We rarely use the gas furnace in our trailer, instead we rely on the electric heater. It does a good job of keeping our 32 ft trailer warm.
You would need to find a sturdy surface to place one on and you should have enough room in the tent so that it wouldnt get bumped. All of the new ones come with a device that turns it off when it tips over. Ours has 2 settings, 750 watt and 1500, when its on 750 you can put your hand on the front of it and not get burned.
As others have said, DO NOT use any unit that burns any type of fuel, that is a recipe for disaster.

Elec. heater plus the elec. blanket if you get cold easy. We did just the heater and sleeping bags in a tent many years ago at FW in November. It dropped into the 30's and we froze. Next trip we came back with a trailer.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I really do appreciate them. I will not be putting anything that burns propane in the tent. We had a scare with carbon monoxide poisoning a few years back. I don't wish to repeat it! Once is enough for my lifetime thank you very much!

We've got small children so I need something that they can't poke their fingers in or get burned off of. Shan-Man, the one you linked to looks like it could work great. Does it have the tip over feature? I need to get to the store and see if they have something similar.
