Can this heater be used safely in a small teardrop camper?

I'm sure it would heat it, but you need fresh air to come in so carbon monoxide doesn't build up inside. I use it for my golf cart that has sunbrella roll up sides that are used with snaps and Velcro to secure it. It isn't air tight like a car. Hope this answers your question. Just keep safety in mind while using this heater!

I am not sure Jefferson. It has a can that the heater fits in. I assume it is a safe amount of heat if that is your concern. Otherwise there would specific warnings. If you really want to know specifics I would call the manufacturer at customer service. Good luck, Jeff

Yes. The unit is not a traditional heating element heater. You can touch the unit and you will not get burned.

I would not use it in a camper because it runs like a jet engine. You probably want a heater that does have a high speed blower.

Actually I have yet to use this item. However I would recommend against using any flammable heat source in a tent. The Esbit fuel tabs heat to extreme temps approx. 1200 F so please use caution.

I wouldn't. You are over the amperage load it was designed for. You will get a lot of heat and early failure in your best case scenario.

No, it is not that powerful. And again this heater is unreliable. Mine only lasted 4 months before it failed. Would not trust it at all.

Yes, I believe it would be safe as long as common(sense) safety is used with a heating product. Note, you cannot see the flame. You can only see the ceramic glow in the darkness. The version I had had a cover when not in use. I made it a habit to let every one know that if this cover is off, assume it's hot. My biggest concern is stability. If it's in cramped conditions, I would avoid using this product unless you can ensure it won't get knocked over. I have secured mine in the center of an old plastic milk crate to give it a wider base. That being said, this is the Boy Scouts. Why do they need a heater? ;-) We never used heater in Boy Scouts. It was all about campfires and long johns. Yes, I believe it would be safe as long as common(sense) safety is used with a heating product. Note, you cannot see the flame.

I have not used mine in a tent yet but I use it in my Motorhome and do not believe it would be a problem. I have 2 of them now and the unit itself does not getHot.

no it would not be. it might be if you put it in a waterproof container. it works great for inside my camper. moisture would wreck it for sure

This will work with any heat only application, so should be fine as long as the electric is setup for single in-line power. Keep in mind the thermostat is battery powered, so you'll need to keep that replaced. I have this in our camper and it's about 3 feet from me. I can't say that I hear the on/off solenoid. So, however loud it is, it's not enough to wake me up.

This heater can be used in a plastic five gallon bucket. Make sure there is water in the bucket when heater is in use.

Generally speaking most heaters are supposed to have a tipover safety cutoff circuit in them so no, don't expect to be able to use it or ANY UL listed/safely designed portable heater on its side, although some may not be as safely designed as others so you could get away with it.

This is a great heater. It heats very well. We use it in our camper and our TV room. A heater in a bathroom is another story. Water and an electric heater are always a risk.

Probably not, although there is some possibility you could find a low-voltage power connection. I believe this heater has a 12-volt version, and the connections could be present in the 120-volt version. But there is no way to get in there with a lighter or something like that.

The bottom of the heater stays cool but I would make sure the air flow is clear both intake and output. It also would potentially burn you if you touch the top where the air comes out. Although I use my unattended in my basement, I would neither keep on in a tent where is it closer to flammable materials not ever attended. I am sure it is not made for that purpose so caution is absolutely necessary.

I ordered it for a friend to use in a camper. It worked great. I hope this helps you.
