Low wattage heater options for winter van life UK - Stealth Micro Camper

Ойын-сауық

I thought I'd take my stealth micro camper van out and test out some low power / low watt electric heater options for winter van life in the UK.
In this stealth camping episode I find a park up right on the beach, and do some van life cooking that exceeds expectations!

    Good luck with the channel man. I'm the same about heaters - Diesel not stealthy, and almost overpowered in a microcamper. I'm running a 600W ducted heater from my lithium setup. Was stupidly expensive, more of an experiment but works super well. Nice testing btw. Owners of bigger vans flat out deny that battery-heating is viable in some cases. I made myself a 12v timer circuit powering some relays, set to 10-min. Means I don't kane the battery from falling asleep. via 240v there's good cheap timer plugs as you mentioned.

    When I had the capacity to use electricity in my cargo trailer conversion, I found out that oil-filled heaters were the best for my situation. I found that the heaters with fans did not give me as consistent a heat throughout the trailer, five foot by eight foot. The oil-filled heater at about 600 watts was filling the entire trailer with a very consistent heat down to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit. I did not do experiments below 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside. My trailer is fully insulated. One other tip is to put the heater on the ground, if you have clearance to combustibles. This is of course because heat rises. Without the capacity for electricity, I use propane with a very large skillet on top of an open burner. It keeps the heat from rising and is not oppressive and too much like using a Buddy heater. I can set the burner on the very lowest setting and the pan radiates the heat much more efficiently. I use less propane this way.

    Get a couple fire bricks that will hold and radiate heat. Whenever you're cooking, surround your pan with the bricks they will heat up and then radiate for quite a while.do this in front of any heat source to conserve and transfer heat. even a bag of sand can help with this. I've known people that keep them near the engine while they're driving and then bring them inside when they stop.

    This is the first time I've come across your channel 🙂 After watching your carefully thought out tests and laughing at your description of that death ray heater with disturbing face (I can't work out if it's friend or foe either!). It reminded me of the cartoon The Brave Little Toaster 😂 I read the comments which revealed someone who took time and thought over his replies as well as his uploads. I've done vanlife for many many years and when diesel heaters became cheap I swapped an open window and a gas ring (and indoor swimming pool) and treated myself. I do take your point about less stealth. Mine is a large transit and the exhaust is hidden near the back axle. In regard to noise it can't be helped but I use my common sense keeping the heat in my van so I run it less. In Winter I use the cab doors to get out and have a thick curtain over the side loading door and a stuffed draught excluder sausage on the side step. I built an insulated wall and hatch between the cab and living space and a 2kw heater is great with a split connector blowing into the garage under my bed and one blowing into the living area. 5kw was too hot. Thanks for the upload 🙂

    Yeah I’ve heard the 5kw ones are too much for most vans. I do think diesel heaters are great products. And I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting one when k upgrade to a slightly larger van. But yeah I just think in this small van, if I can get away with a small electric heater that’ll be ideal for me. I can imagine once you get a diesel heater you wouldn’t want to go back to the options that require ventilation though! And yeah that ‘double death bomb’ heater is something that I would steer well clear of 😂

    that location was one of my old spots when i was on the south coast in my motorhome. them little fan heaters are great. if you get cold you just move closer to it lol or..... you could use a second one at the back if the van. try a couple of mile west, at cooden you can park on the beach and in winter time the sea comes close :D or... if you want views and a walk try firle beacon as it over looks newhaven port and you can see all the boats come and go at night

    Other than comfort OUT of the bed, no heater needed at those temps and even much colder for just sleeping. I got caught in my Ram Promaster City (similar to yours) conversion (well insulated also) with a cold snap down from Canada one night outside of Yellowstone. Overnight low was 5C, yet I slept warm and comfortable in a summer sleeping bag with no heat source at all. How? Bought a fluffy full size blanket (just fluffy and a bit heavier, not quilted) that came also with a smaller throw blanket in the same nice fluffy material. I rigged the blanket as we did as kids, as a "tent" over my sleep area by rigging a rope taught end to end overhead and then some clips to hold the blanket out past my sleeping bag to the sides. Basically it didn't touch me at all, so wasn't bothered when asleep, but it created a much smaller cavity to capture body heat escaping all night. The smaller throw was rigged at the end past my head and the pillow (large enough to double thickness it folded as your head is the most critical to keep warm) to insulate the wall at the back doors. Coldest part of the night, my "tent" was about 17C inside, plenty comfortable for sleeping in a summer sleeping bag. Slept like a baby. Invest in a blanket and the time and changes to accommodate such a "tent" on short notice and you'll never worry about cold temps. A King size blanket could be similarly arranged to span across two people also and I'm certain a double layer would get you below 0C. Oh, and one of the "hooks" to hold the rope was a large magnet with an eye bolt so you can use those on metal for a quick setup in a van.

    Nice! I have a small 300w ceramic heater that is similar to the 250w you used. One thing I noticed is that you have to turn it off with the power switch so that it can run the fan to cool it down since it is made of plastic. It would be nice to be able to run it with a remote switch but that would be dangerous if you just cut the power to it after it got hot.
