Now Autumn's coming I wondered what type of heating you guys have that runs off hook up?

if I use an electric heater in the van at night to keep warm ( rarely) it's a small oil filled.
Fan heaters are noisy, kick up dust and dangerous at night in a small space in case they get knocked over
If you want a heater for day time to dry you out when you get wet a cheap light weight fan heater is good, I take one to France in case the weather turns bad because I'm on hookup.

Propex in the van for off grid, noisy and kick up dust but no choice.

thanks for that itchy, any more volunteers ?

I have the same as itchyfeet, a small oil heater that takes the nip off the air at night. Also a small fan heater I use for a blast of warm air on cold mornings.

Same here.

Same here
If it gets really parky I use the propex. But the small oil filled is usually adequate.

Ok, been looking on e bay but I would want a small one. Who has a small one (oil heater) and did you get it from e.bay.

I got mine from Original Factory Shop I think. About £20.
You can get them at Argos too.
I am sure many other similar retailers flog them.

Ta, will look at argos

That's what we use in the awning in the evenings, and if a small oil filled rad for in the van.

I "borrow" the Dimplex Coldwatcher electric heater from our greenhouse.

I refurbished and thoroughly tested our Propex but prefer not to to use it at all let alone run it on the thermostat overnight. On hookup we use a cheap fan heater on the lower of the two heat settings and thermostatic control. I believe oil filled jobs are a bit on the heavy side for a camper. Modern duvets are perfectly warm overnight in Europe.

Oil filled radiator for me.
