I put an eberspacher ( diesel night heater ) in my first trailer .
When I built my second I put propex heater in .. this one is gas and I didn't see the point in carrying gas and diesel.
Obviously already carring gas for cooking G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Thanks for the replies so far.
The electric fan heater I'm ruling out. Trying to keep power consumption down.
I had looked as night heaters but they are quite expensive. Are they very effective? (Did get the idea from seeing your trailer at Peterborough)

4 votes to propex have been having another look at them, how do you get the heat to where would like? I would imagine like flexible conduit/extractor hose to direct air?
We have a oz tent & awning off to the side of our trailer, so trying to think how the air would circulate.

The only issue I had with the fire, was that you couldn't move it about - heated the awning nicely, but not the Oztent, but propex sounds good and I'm considering for my new set-up
Still go for a fire though as it has other benefits

Can't beat a fire Iggs , but the propex can run over night and unattended.
Kev, yes flexible ducting, I run that to the outside of the trailer, then drain pipe up into the RT Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Propex here too, the smaller 1600, Sailorboi has the same in his
I do indeed run the same as Beanie
Is a good little heater. Under Wiggs expert advice I have attached a digital thermostat on a remote lead in the roof tent (although not quite finished yet) so is nice and easy to control. The flexible ducting allows it to be piped where ever you want too

Excellent, thanks very much.
This whole camping this is relatively new to me, so hints/tips are appreciated. Camping is normally 35'x12' static caravan with double glazing

Costs Simon? I did a quick eBay search and Propex was coming back at around £500 Iggy/Ieuan

The newer versions like the HS2000 mentioned above (the blue one) are around that new yep.
I got my 1600 second hand on eBay and paid about £120 if I remember correctly. You just have to go careful as a lot of them are sold untested. However they are quite simple to take part and try to get going 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

Yeah the new systems aren't cheap. Been trolling through ebay and gumtree, there are lot more diesel systems available second hand. Think I will keep an eye out for a bargain, unless anyone is wanting to sell there's??
Decided to get a wood burner as well for the awning in the mean time and will sort the tent out when something suitable turns up.
