A caravan at Easter ...

[wishingchair]

... is heating in the bedrooms and bathroom a good idea?

I would say yes, but the caravan that has this is an extra £100 so DH not convinced

Sort of a good idea... are you with haven or park resorts etc? Commercial ?
If you are - the heaters are rubbish and only have one setting - very low! even the gas fires in the lounges are set extremely low! less cost for them!
You are much better saving the £100 and using some of it to buy a small heater that you can take with you and put on.. (thats what i do..)
you aren't suppose to - but loads do it!

Oooo interesting ... yes it's Haven. Could get 2 little electric heaters for that price. Always handy to have around in case the central heating breaks down so doubly useful.

Thanks for the tip amylou!

we have a caravan and it has DG and CH

wether you have heating or not it will be freezing when yout get there

it does heat up and loses the heat very very quickly

It is meant to be very cold over Easter. I would find it hard without the heating, we would all be wrapped in blankets and water bottles, dont know how you would have a shower let along a wee lol

I would go with the heating because of the forcast

Go with the heating.We got a Haven caravan with heating and it was still freezing.I didnt know it was possible to take your own heater,would it not cause a fire hazard or could you be found out etc

[anniebear]

if it has CH, a caravan does warm up

Just ours, you cant set a timer, so you have to quickly run out of bed in the morning, put it on and jump back into bed! ) well DH does anyway lol

we bought an electric fan heater with thermostat for £15 in ASDA. Safer with toddler running about than the gas fire in the lounger area... and because electricity had already been billed upfront we could leave it on all night on a low setting (thermostat meant it switched itself on/off when temperature at certain level!). A definite must!
