My first question - it's a hot one

I have always had a PROPEX. I don't think you can beat them. Had them in all my campers and boats, when I was fit enough to sail. And I used to sail all year round.
Try crossing the North sea to Belgium mid Feb in a 19ft sail boat ,with no heating.

No thanks. Grab a bit of metal and your hand sticks, not much fun.

You can get 12v tellys???

no, no, the inverter turns 12volts to 240volts so that you can use a normal telly of the portable type (15") and plug the DVD in ...it'll be good for three or four films!

if youre that cold, just put the grill on, at least a duvet corner/trouser leg/tee towel cant drop/brush past/into it

flames, humans and a space 5 ft times 15 foot just aint good

Erm, I think the Grill uses a flame to, which also eats up all the oxygen in the van..............unless you have an electric one that is??

Umm yeah, but its more difficult to accidentally set something on fire with. Except toast of course.

I was more concerned about the Carbon Monoxide rather than burning things
