Under awning heating

[JohnnyP]

Hi everyone,
Just returned from a trip to the Lakes and during a couple of cold rainy evenings we eventually retreated to the van for some warmth.
If we had some form of under awning heater we would have stayed outside for much longer.
What are you guys using as an under awing heater, just to be clear this is under the Thule roll out awning with open sides so plenty of ventilation and on top of a low table (not Cali table)
I like the look of the Solo Stove Mesa with a heat deflector (shown in the photo) but I dont want to cause heat damage the awning material which i suspect the solo stove might do. The Kampa heat lamp is another option but I havent seen any reviews of it.

I think you are wasting money trying to heat the outside air I would rather get a better fleece, hat and gloves or find a campsite that allows a fire pit. There is a whole other debate about how un-environmentally friendly outside heaters are.

Agree with @Meoncoast, I wouldn’t bother but if you are on EHU you could get an electric fan heater and really cause a stir!

I use a heated seat cushion, like this. Makes a big difference.

I agree - and on sites that don’t allow fire pits just chuck an extra bag of charcoal on the BBQ ….

Fan heater and a good coat. Dry robes are also really good
