Been asked before, for one they need a fair bit of space around them plus you would need a really small un for these vans due to the heat they throw off. Plus do you think your insurance will allow it as a modification????

We have one in our tipi tent, its made by helsport. I am not sure I would fancy puttin one in the van;

when its got a couple of logs in it it gets so hot the steel glows red. you would have to keep it at least a foot away from the walls or anything else for that matter. I have had the tent so hot in february that we have had to open the doors.

I have seen people with bigger vans with them, but think it might throw out a bit too much heat for a t25.

Hi,
I know of a new design of Gypsy stove (search on fleabay for this) I know the guys who have designed and made them. They are very small and are smokeless too.
Personally, I have told them that I wouldn't have one in a camper as there are too many issues as stated above, but they are worth a look if that is what you really want to do.
