If you have decided to go camping in a cooler season or a rather cold region, you don’t have to worry about you or your loved ones having to freeze. If you have the right clothing with you and take a look at our tips for winter camping in advance, nothing can go wrong even at sub-zero temperatures in nature!
But those who want to keep their car and roof tent warm are faced with challenges. Auxiliary heating, heating with gas or even fire – the risk of fire is definitely an aspect that can quickly throw a wrench in your plans.
Good news: There are special heaters for use in roof tents!
What you should consider when choosing a heater
When choosing a roof tent heater, it is important to pay attention to the safety features.
If you want to use a heater in your roof tent, you should definitely not use a wood or gas heater. Instead, it should be an electric heater that has been specially designed for operation in closed rooms.
This means that the heater should be small, space-saving and fireproof. Ideally, it has an automatic shut-off function in case of overheating. Nevertheless, you should never leave the heater unattended.
Either way, whichever model you choose, it is always necessary to read the heater’s operating instructions carefully and to ensure that the roof tent is sufficiently ventilated.
