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 never use a wood or gas heater.
Instead, it should be an electric heater that has been specially designed for use in enclosed spaces.
This means that the heater should be small, space-saving and fire-safe.
Ideally, it should have an automatic switch-off function in the event of overheating.
Nevertheless, you should never leave the heater unattended.
Whichever model you choose, it is always necessary to read the operating instructions for the heater carefully and ensure that the roof tent is sufficiently ventilated. You should bear this in mind when choosing a roof tent heater:
- Consider safety features
- Ideally electric heating
- Automatic switch-off function
- Never leave the heating unattended
