Warm & Toasty

Post by terriv »

Recently spent a couple 29 degree nights camping in Eastern Oregon. This time I brought my small oil filled radiator along to try. It measures roughly 24" tall & 12" long. Using just the wrap around windshield curtain,I put the radiator between the front seats & plugged it into electrical outlet inside the overhead compartment on the right. I also propped the bathroom door open. I kept it on the LOW setting. It stayed 65-66 all night & warmed up the whole camper including the floor!

I did very similar thing when I were camping at a site with AC power. But I used a ceramic heater with tipping protection. Much smaller, but the noise from the fan can be an issue.
