Of course not......but a good doona and flanno sheets are as good as any elect blanket.

We at least wear a tee shirt to bed in winter and the 10 secs of cold that it takes to get into bed isn't a problem for us old folk !!  :-*

but you lot are in bed at 6.00pm ;)

Hi,
   Diesel.
Pro.
More heat per volume of fuel.
Easier for me to install.
Runs off a removable tank, so spare vehicle fuel.

Anti.
8 Amp to glow plug start.
Noise from impulse pump.

I would consider gas in warmer climates or on a camper with 9kg gas bottles.

Cheers

The noise from some heaters is not good, especially for those camping nearby.

Heater (some) = the new generator...... >:(

For a powered area use a small fan heater  :D for unpowered areas the only way to go is an in built gas/diesel fuelled heater  :cup: :cup: :cup:
Why  ???

Both have multiple uses, ie;, hair dryer, clothes dryer, camper warmer,body warmer, none of the other things do all that safely
