Portable Caravan Heater

Portable heater for caravans

Although 12v heaters for camping can provide the same level of warmth as a fire, they spare you from unpleasant side effects like stinky clothing and itchy eyes as well as the danger of a wildfire becoming out of control. Take note of the facts below if you're having trouble deciding which portable 12v heaters are the most ideal for camping. Making a purchase decision can be challenging due to the wide variety of camping 12v heaters available. When campfires are not an option, you may know you need something powerful, but you may also want something portable, user-friendly, and secure. Consider the following factors in your decision-making process before committing to your 12v heater purchase.

FIRE SAFETY

The most important factor to take into account while looking for the best camping 12v heaters on the market is safety, even before considering price tags and aesthetic elements. On an outdoor expedition, you want to stay warm and cosy, but you also want to stay safe. Shop for camping 12v heaters that have anti-tilt shut-off, oxygen depletion sensors, and protective front guards first and foremost. It's crucial to remember that most 12v heaters for tent camping and outdoor use do not work well indoors, even with these safety measures (yes, even in a tent).

Thankfully, there is one choice that can be used safely inside your tent, check out the Companion Aeroheat below. You can always stay warm in your covered tent with additional clothes and blankets, a hot water bottle, a warm beverage, and a high-quality sleeping bag if that option isn't suitable for your needs or is out of your price range.

GAS VS PROPANE:

Before buying heaters for tent camping, it is always important to take into account the heat source. Although LPG natural gas or propane are the most common options available, you can also purchase a 12v heater for camping. Although 12v heaters can be powered by mains electricity or 4x4 batteries, they often don't generate as much heat as gas ones. In contrast, gas camping heaters use LPG or propane and typically produce more heat.

HEAT OUTPUT:

Not all heaters used by campers are intended for use in every circumstance. As a result, before making a purchase, it may be worthwhile to pay attention to the heat output. BTU, or British Thermal Units, is a common abbreviation used to describe this. The more BTUs there are, the more heat production you may enjoy across a larger area.

WEIGHT & SIZE:

The heat output of portable 12v heaters for camping may be reflected in their size and weight. For overnight hikes, you might only require a tiny heater; for family camping vacations, you could need something more potent. Before making a decision, always check the dimensions and weight of camping heaters and consider how far you'll need to travel while carrying one.
