Fitting Tubular Heaters In Our Caravan [Caravan Life UK]

thank you for the answers your a star

keep toastie 😃

i hope it wont be to cold its been funny today its rained this afternoon i got caught in it i have been sweeping a drive abd round the back im still working away i work all year round it does help

Sorry ivan 80 watt tube heaters total waste of money might as well light a candle or leave a light on. Like your optimism but unless your sat on them totally useless.

Any news on the status of your pitch with the new owners yet?

Hi Ivan are these safe to be left on for long periods of time and do they switch off when reached a certain tempture . Because we live in an old stone farm rented cottage which can get cold and damp over the winter period .

Good vid mate. Can you not install a multifuel burner? Lots of narrowboaters use them. I would imagine that properly installed it would be ok.

We also purchased an Eco Air DD1 Simple Blue MK3 Desiccant Dehumidifier Rotary Dial 7.5 L/Day 34 dB MK6 Blue £245.00 Amazon saves 40% on energy bills. They offer a similar item for £38.24 It’s ok for a small bedroom put it this way you get what you pay for. All the Best.

hi great video,how much are you paying per kwh for electricity? cheers geoff.

CCTV Great idea Lights that go on and off using a timer are great. So is a ring door bell. Window alarms, and a radio set on a timer.

Hi when we go away we alwas get a timer plug and you can get it to come on in the evening so people will think you are still in your caravan hope you have a lovely weekend God's blessing to all your family x ❤

Loving the channel mate...we have our van in Skegness...no central heating tho....when do you move in to you small flat you mentioned ... sending much love Simon and Catherine xx❤

Switch your fire off and put a jumper on instead!

What happened to ur panel heaters ? Waste of money like i said ?

Ivan you got them at a good price as they are rubbish. Pointless mate.

What temperature are you happy at to be comfortable sitting around the van. ?
My mate has his van at 21 degrees but I am happy at 19 degrees

I got 2x 6 feet heaters that are 360w each,one for the bedroom one for living room in a one bed bungalow,uk made from Barnstaple in Devon we are tubular heaters.

Absolutely brilliant.

Tubular heaters are great. I use one for my workshop, and it has a thermostat. Set low keeps damp and condensation away, especially in winter.

I have a couple of these in my garage, they definitely take the edge off.

Fit Central heating mate absolute doddle in a caravan and cheap as chip's

CCTV Security is fine if you have a neighbour who is willing to look after it whilst your away. An alarm a night can be annoying to neighbour's.

Do you have any room thermometer I have the little magnetic ones. Handy to see at a glance.

Need a carvan 4 about 10 k could i get one need it 4 few years. Could i get one 4 that

We use 12" tube heaters in the main bathroom and en-suite to stop the WC cistern and pan from freezing when we are away in winter, they work a treat and save us the hassle of draining everything down, as long as there are no power cuts!!!!!. Also we use a RING camera inside for security when we are away, but that needs an internet connection and subscription obviously. Table lamp and radio on a timer and motion sensor light(s) over the main door are effective and simple / cheap enough.

If you are going to heat electrically just get a thermostatic convector heater - about £20 from the likes of Home Bargains.

cctv...good. Alarm...whats the point? more a nuisance tbh. I got cctv.......excellent watching hedgehogs at night. lol.

considering getting one for our downstairs wc

Good choice. 60years ago my late uncle had 4 of them in his garage. Really took the edge off when he was working on the car. Very efficient. Good for reducing condensation. And you can safely leave them on all night. Good man.

I THINK THE LITTLE HEATERS WILL HELP, BUT I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OF WITH AN OIL FILLED HEATER, YOU CAN CONTROL THE HEAT BETTER.

Thanks Ivan, I'm going to get one for the kitchen. Thank you for all the information.

Hi mate these tube heaters at 80 watt are not good enough to heat any room unless really small less than 4x6 better to use halogen.

1 pence a hour ? Don't think so. Cheapest and best is diesel heater and run it on heating oil

You need to check your sums 80w is just under 2p per hour on a standard 24p per kWh rate and your rate is much higher. With two running, that’s more like 6p per hour so £10 per week for the same amount of heat as two 80w lightbulbs.
