Can I use this inside a tent during camping? The tent is one of those 10-sleeper ones and is round with ventilation at the top (all-around).

I sure did over the weekend! I have a 5 person tent with a queen size air bed. It was just my wife, my 7 year old daughter and I. My buddy told me to only run it while I was awake to heat the tent and turn it off. Well, hard thing to do when it's freezing outside, lol. I ran it all night about 3 feet from my mattress with no issues. A couple things: 1) one tank will run about 6 hours and the bottom of the tank will freeze, which will melt water inside your tent. Just an Fyi, you might want a better base to catch the water.2) keep another tank close if one runs empty. Second night I had to change one at 4 in the morning. I sure did over the weekend!

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.

I would not recommend it in a tent it is not rated for tent use that I noticed.

it would be fine inside. I think it might be too small for 3 kids. We had a 10 and 11 yr old in it and they had very little extra room, but that was campground camping with lots of mats and sleeping bags.

I would not recommend this for inclement weather or extreme cold temperatures. As for as inside a tent in a mild climate it would be just fine. Hope this answers your question.

The base of the fan is pretty heavy with the batteries in it. I'm not sure there would be a good place to put a hook in it, so that the fan would be positioned right, to blow air downward in your tent.

So many stupid answers for this simple question.. No, you should never use this heater in a tent, it gives off a dangerous gas 'Carbon Monoxide' and tents, despite their flame safety ratings will burn. This unit does not employ any safety features either. Boy Scouts should heat rocks over a fire pit then place those within some sort of bag then place the rocks next to their sleeping quarter. I use a Zippo hand warmer inside my sleeping bag but I would not recommend that for a boy scout either. I use the handwarmer only because 20 years ago there where no portable heaters and the Zippo worked flawlessly and is flameless. So many stupid answers for this simple question..

Yes. Works well. I'd advise doing top sheets or a blanket, and/too. Can be used on a tent as well.

It is not really designed for camping, just for some shade at the beach. The door is open and windows have screens that open for airflow. We have not wanted to zip door opening so not sure if it's possible. Great for shade at the beach!

I have a queen sized double stack Coleman air mattress and it fits in with ease. Plus room to move around the bed and stand up fully,though I'm only 5'3", there's enough room for a 6ft person to also get around with ease. Lanterns can be placed on the floor or there's a small hook on the top for mini lanterns. Nothing too heavy though. There's like 2 extra feet of room on each side of the air mattress. I also use fans at festivals... In a normal tent you die in the heat, but with the rain flap off and a small fan the tent stays cool because of all the mesh and a good breeze. You won't regret buying this tent. I've used it more than I can count since I bought it last year it's roomy and tough, holds up in terrential winds and rain even half-assed steaked down.

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

Yes, this tent would be good for stealth camping. Especially if where you pitch is behind some dead fall (obviously don't camp under widow makers) or rocks. It's very low to the ground and blends in nicely.

Yes, you can zip it up completely- like a normal tent. We haven't used it to camp a beach, but I don't see why you couldn't use it for that.

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.

Yes, unless it's too much and collapses your tent and watch out for being able to get air
2252676
Absolutely! If you don't have some air coming in the tent eventually the oxygen will be used up. You just can't have an airtight tent or you will wake up dead. It's great for heat and very efficient.

Yes, it could be used in a tent as long as you put something under it to keep the floor from getting too hot, and provided a bit of ventilation. It does not work the way they tell you it will but if you hook it to a pressure regular connected to a five gallon butane tank it works. I would definitely buy another for my deer stand, that is the only way I use it.

yes, but here's a suggestion if it is an inflatable mattress, put it in the tent first and then blow the mattress up and it fits perfectly
