Hi to all craicers........was wondering if any of you has used an oil filled radiator in your vans to keep it above freezing temps. I believe there's a low wattage rad can be bought for around 40e. I am only using van periodically and have it on hook up when not in use.

Any advice greayfully accepted........ :up: ... :sleep:

I use one, low wattage and just takes the chill of and no more. Think it was £20. Does the job grand.

What kind of wattage are we talking about. 1.5 kw was available at 39e. Is this too high or are there lower wattages.

Mine is 600 watt. It wouldn't heat the van up enough to be comfortable but enough to take the chill off.
