I can't get power to it because its parked on the street.
Last winter I tried a small paraffin heater but that was rubbish.
Any tips would be much appreciated ;D

PROPEX gas heating system as used in camper vans. Will cost you tho. But if it saves everything from freezing I am sure it would pay for itself in no time!

Looks good but its a bit dear.
I did think of some form of gas heater but something relatively frugal on gas that I could leave on all night.
-
Please let me know when you find something suitable. The above is all I could find that does the job properly. Propex are fantastic heaters.

Hi, I have a wheelie bin cleaning business and come the winter all I do is cover the water tank with two bed quilts and my pressure washer with a couple of quilted jackets never had a problem with it yet. The last two quilts cost me about 20 quid five years ago and there are no running costs or break downs.
-
What about the tea lights and plant pots ;D
-
night heaters that runs on derv they do the job nice , its what we have in our carpet cleaning vans , around 1200 pounds fitted but you can get secondhand ones on evil bay 100-150 the same as wagon drivers use when stopping out over night

Do the same Jaymac cover everything up including the R.O. a few years back it didn't go above minus 10 for at least
two weeks and the only problem I got was a busted inline strainer.

Tried a very small one and it didn't kick enough heat out.

Can you not just use 1000 watts inverter 12v to 240v and plugin a garage, greenhouse tube heater they run on very low 50 watts power..
Surely this is possible no?!?!?

Propex hs2000 is the way 2 go then! BUT i found there thermostat i bit keen even on the lowest setting, so i bought a 12v timer from TLC electrics £40ish? to go on/off every few hours, but a p.ss about setting it, however it doesnt use that much gas from a 13kg propane bottle.

N. Ireland. The winter off 2010-11 temp went down to minus 18 and didn't go above minus 10 for over two weeks.
Nearly six weeks of non stop minus 3 to 4 as well.

I just whack a heater in the van for 30 mins in the morning defrosts everything its sorted!
i have a little tube heater if it gets really cold nights that keep everything defrosted but i don't really want to run a cable to it all night long.
-
I used a parrafin greenhouse heater once but never again. It made a right mess of the insides of the van.
Everything was covered in black slimy soot.
