Amateur bob Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I had a very cold night in static caravan last night but am a bit worried about leaving heaters on all night, does anyone know if these electric heaters found in statics as shown below are safe to leave on all night? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I am sure they meet a minimum standard, so as long as they are clean and not obstructed, they should be fine. Why don't you get yourself an A2AHP fitted, may seem a waste if money for temporary accommodation, but could be reused. Last night was not cold down here, so whatever you decide to do, it is going to cost you a lot if you stick to resistive heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I fitted a wood burning stove in mine and burned coal overnight to keep it in. It burned almost non stop from November to February. And a couple of plug in electric heaters in the bedrooms with thermostats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of additional electric heaters wd be safe for bedrooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 We've been in our static for 3.5 years now (fml) and the only heating we have is a wood burner which I let die down in late evening. Call my crazy, but why do you need heat overnight if you're in bed? Buy another duvet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGP Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I would echo the A2A (air con) sentiment. It’s not resistive so doesn’t run glowing hot and will be 2-4 times more efficient than resistive heating. If you’re there for a while, worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
