I would recommend the FROST FIGHTER in the garden section in B&Q,it's used for greenhouses etc. and has a thermostat on so when it gets below a certain temperature which you can adjust the fan heater kicks in and turns off again when it reaches the selected temperature again. ;)

Use an extension lead and plug in,I put cones around the side of van incase someone trips over the extension lead,there are some blind bats about.
