is this safe to use in a tent

I would say no. I believe it's not to be used in confined spaces. That's why we returned it, we wanted to use it in our tent.

We use it for camping and it works great. It's also great because the fan blades are foam, so you can't e injured by it.

I would use it in an emergency. I used it on arecent camping trip in a tent...not while we slept, but I would feel comfortable using it in a well ventilated area. Of course keep it away from walls, curtains, bedding, etc. I was impressed. It works great, cranked out decent heat for a small heater and the butane tank lasts long.

That would be a VERY bad idea. The floor of the tent is really nothing more than a medium duty tarp. The walls are a very light nylon and, I am assuming by the look and feel, fairly flammable. I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes, unless it's too much and collapses your tent and watch out for being able to get air

Yea this fan will work very well in the tent you have should suck out all the hot air with no problems but you may have to add just a little duct work so you can direct the hot air out of the top of the tent

I used it for a week straight, setting it up and taking it down every morning and evening. I had no problems with the tent floor, or the cot. Just double check the dimensions because the cot is quite large.

YES ... no problems. buy a good quality black tape, such as Guerrilla Tape to close any pinholes in tent.

I use mine outside in a grow tent, however, it should not get wet i.e. from rain, morning mist...

I wouldnt have a problem in a camper but a tent has a different rating. It is a very protected face although it puts out a lot of heat you don't see the elements. I personally would use it but it would be your call.

Definitely. When you are in a tent put a crack in a window or door always. I have used this heater in a 10' x 10' tent and left on all night in 30 degree weather.For safety I suggest you heat up the tent and then turn off before going to bed. Also be sure there is ample room all around the heater to prevent an accident/fire.

I think it would last in a house for a long period of time. I've used it camping for three weeks straight and besides have to pump it up with air again for time to time, it was good. I would not use it as a permanent solution though. You will notice the effect it has on your body over time, just like camping in the same spot you start to notice evey root and rock your tent is on. For lasting longer, don't keep it near any sort of heat sources and keep it out of the sun.

Let me answer this question with a larger statement...Don't buy this tent. I used it for one night and literally left it in the woods. It was useless. I'm not even a serious camper, but this thing was of no use to me. Find another tent. You are welcome.

they are perfectly safe for tent use.. but, it must be located on solid footings with know chance of tipping or having flammable objects come in contact with it.. if it tips it auto. shuts off, but the surface can still start a fire til it cools down.

Absolutely! I purchased it for my son's tent but we also use it if the power goes out in our home

I've used it over 30 nights and have had no problems with it inside the tent. I'm using it in a 2 person tent (REI Half Dome) with the standard ground cover.

You can, but keep in mind this is not a powerful fan; meaning it is just fine to provide a cooling breeze inside of a tent. In addition, the motor is not really meant for prolonged use and you'll probably damage it after a week or so of constant use. Caveat emptor, it is meant for ocasional, sporadic use. As such, it does a good job, no more no less. Hope this helps.
