Camping Heater Safety Rules

Posted by Filed Under Camping Heater, Featured with No Comments

It could be a little tough to enjoy the great outdoors when your fingers gets cold and your toes become numb when camping.  The best way to make sure that you are all warm and heated when camping is by bringing along a camping heater that makes up for the chills in your tent on a cool night outdoors. This will make getting out of your sleeping bag on a cold morning day a lot easier. But one must make sure that it is used properly to avoid a fire accident. There had been some reported cases of camping fires because of camping heaters, so it is best to take all necessary precautions.

The purpose of a camping heater is to provide you with sufficient heat and warmth during camping trips – especially if you are camping on a location with low temperature. Instead of using camp fires, you can use camping heaters which are a safer alternative and one that is easy to carry. Because of the advances in technology, many manufacturers nowadays have created more portable, lightweight and reliable camp heaters that most campers would love to have.

One important feature that you should check when choosing a camping heater is the built in safety mechanism. There are some models of camping heaters that have the added feature of an automatic shut off. This will be triggered once the oxygen level inside your camping tent drops. Not all portable camp heaters have this feature but most new models do.  Reading the operation manual is also a must especially on the safety instruction part of the manual because it’s always better to know how to be safe at all times rather than end up being sorry.

How can I tell the size of my Hot water heater in my camper?

Posted by Filed Under Camping Heater with 7 Comments

I need to know if it is 6 or 10 gallon.
I can not look in the owners manual for the camper, I am the 4th or 5th owner and the manual is long gone.
I tried looking in the heater for the size, but all the info is ether burned from the hot metal, or faded in time. My camper is over 30 years old and the water heater needs to be replaced.

NOTE… scraping it is not an option. It is not a vacation camper, it is my home.

Jacket for a water heater?

Posted by Filed Under Camping Heater with 9 Comments

Hello, I am wondering if there are any products out there that are designed to insulate your water heater. Mine is outside in the laundry room (I live in East Texas) and it we are in the coldest part of the year. I don’t ever use enough hot water to run the heater OUT, but I can’t seem to make it last very long, leading me to believe that it is losing heat by being cold outside. I don’t want to keep turning it up and run up the gas bill.

In absence of a specific item for this, I wonder if it would be safe to wrap it in anything else, old blanket, etc. I have a camping mattress that is a dense plyable styrofoam and is an excellent insulator. But don’t want to burn the house down somehow or interrupt the workings of the heater.

PS nothing wrong with the heater, it is fairly new.
