Can this heater be used in a tent or a camper?

If the heater is sitting the slightest bit crooked it will turn off. It doesn't heat areas that maybe are not air tight very well either. A camper will probably be too big for this little heater to heat it is not very stron in blowing the hot air out so in ny opinion I'd say no. You are better off with a different heater

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.

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.

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.

I think that would be dangerous. This heater puts out serious heat. It could catch the tent on fire or if someone got too close to it while sleeping they could be seriously burned.

I have used it in my bot cabin and in tents before. No problem using it short term in a trailer, just crack a window. I wouldnt use it unattended and don't try to substitute it for a heater.

If you do not use an extension cord, keep away from flamibles I would say it should be safe. I use mine in a travel trailer without any problems. Best heater I have ever owned , nothing gets hot anywhere around heater.

Yes I don't see why not. When I first received the tent I set it up in my basement prior to my camping trip to make sure all items where includes and tent was ready. Stood up in the basement with no issue. As long as you have the room for it!

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 get Hot.

No I could have used it with a propane heater but I used it with lights in my green house because propane addes moisture.

Just remember that this oven gets very hot and is a danger to anyone coming in contact with it. It would be safer to use it outside with a Coleman camp stove and not use it inside of an enclosed camper. I would not use it inside of our trailer.

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.

I believe I read that you can use in like an office or home office setting with adapter /AC for keeping food, water etc. cold. If you are inside a house, motel I don't think it would freeze. Not sure in a tent. I used it on a road trip with adapter and in car it worked great! Good luck.

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..

You should have no problems using this in a camper with any amount of ventilation.

As long as you have the room and the water for it, it should work well. A truck camper might not have the room.The heater itself doesn't get dangerously hot, but you have to make sure you vent it to the ouside to stay alive

I find it better for heating a room because the heat goes straight up. I have to stand right beside it to feel the heat. I think a directional heater that attaches on top op the propane tank would be better for tailgating or camping in my opinion.

Yes it would, but I'd be cautious about putting it into a camper. It's set for outside heating, and inside it could get too hot. it doesnt have a sensor on it to detect if things are getting too hot so if you left it on overnight you might get a fire.....
