Heating
iv just brought a 60w tube heater from tool station for under £16 for the van.. Anyone else got one in their vans?
Re: Heating
A pal of mine had one in his Transit van,seemed to work well although his van was very well insulated.
Re: Heating
I've not got one in the van but do have one installed in our hallway - I'm afraid to say it does little to no good and the hallway is smaller than the Bongo!
Let us know if it does work better than the one I got!

Re: Heating
There more for preventing frost forming then actual heating, but it may be adequate, we use the Argos one;

Re: Heating
If I only had 60 watts, I'd direct it to an electric blanket - not nearly enough power to heat a substantial space I think.

Re: Heating
The vans getting padded out this weekend all being dry to keep the heat in, I just needed the chill of the air. I do have a 12v throw too...
I'm used to a tent in winter with no electric.... Roll in 3 weeks time.. No sleeping on the floor for me
