Would this heater work for tent camping?

Honestly, it would depend on how cold it is. It looks more powerful than it is, but it could work. It would have to be close to you to be effective. I would check out propane heaters for tent use instead.

Yes, this heater is perfect for small enclosed areas, like tents and such. As long as there's access to power outlets. However, don't expect it to do much if you're trying to heat an uninsulated two car garage and such.

If u have a small tent than yes. The Mr HEATER sits firmly on a flat surface but u won't always get a flat floor surface in tent camping. I used mine in a tent and put it on a small metal table. It didn't heat up the table.... but it certainly warmed up the tent!

It's made to be used indoors or out. It runs on butane. However, I would not suggest that it be used to heat a tent. You have an open flame and it probably wont produce enough heat anyway.

Obviously it needs access to an electrical outlet, but otherwise it should work in either. The base provides a strudy foundation such that it would not easily fall over. Although no surface gets real hot, I would exercise care to ensure it is not placed near any tent fabric walls. Also, remember it is rated only at 1500 watts, so it can't heat an overly large or drafty space.

Yes, I use it to heat my JEEP Grand Cherokee when I car camp. I set the unit on the console and crack the back windows about an inch.. Kept me warm for 9 hours on a very cold and rainy weekend.

I'm sure it will be fine. I ran mine in a slightly smaller growing chamber turned down to about 1/4 power with a fan controller and it kept everything fresh as daisy, so I'm sure it can handle a tent of your size.

No! I would not recommend this heater. Very hard to light. Totally aggravating. Their quality control must be terrible or nonexistent, maybe both. I had problems with it from the start.

As long as the heater is kept dry, then yes, it should work just fine. It's not weatherproof per se, but should have no problem in an open air environment. The heat dissapation will depend on the wind, air flow, etc, so it may lose some efficiency yet still work

Yes, it's a sturdy tent for the money. The poles are what I would call a mid-Guage but definitely do the job well. I wouldn't do chip ups on them once erected but they are more than adequate for holding the product nicely for a lengthy time. I'm not sure I'd use anything that produces a lot of heat because the material will melt with direct heat is applied. A couple small electric heaters on the ground in the corners should work as long as they are aimed inward. The tent will hold the heat since the material is not breathable. Hope this helps..

Yes, I would wager it would work just fine. It heats my studio up - a bigger space without great insulation. This heater should do the trick.

If you are using it with a tarp tent pitched the right, it should definitely produce some effective heat. You could use it in a regular backpacking tent with a great deal of care and caution. Would work better in conjunction with a tarp.

No, I haven't done that. The tank works great for camping as a stove and light propane source, with the relevant equipment. If the heater you mention is supposed to work with standard propane tanks, then sure, it should work on this one.

I wouldn't bother. There is a safety feature built into this heater in that it will destroy itself when it is not immersed in a liquid to avoid starting a fire. You would be lucky to use it for this purpose once.

yes it will heat it but you will burn a heck of a lot of propane in the meantime. its best if you turn it on high for starters and then lower the thermostat down so you can save on propane while maintaining temperatures. quite frankly though I would look for something that will lower your costs.lower your usage costs.

If it draws 4.5 amps at 12v, yes- it should do fine if the days are long. What I did was to make one out of a heat pump, regular camping cooler and insulation. It only cost about $50, compared to almost $500 for a commercial one.

I agree with Katie Jo. Electric heaters, even small ones like the Vornado use a lot of energy. You need to look for an alternative heat source especially for using when camping. I'm sure others have answers for you on this topic.
