    What sort of heating are you looking for.

    Electric, Gas, Paraffin or woodburner. There are loads of options

    Oh and welcome to the forum

    Sorry only just seen this and your other post.

    What I have seen some families doing is using the electric oil filled heaters. Now they won't be as fierce with the heat but they will be quiet. They are big and bulky though.

    I have slept with a fan heater on all night, but it did keep waking me up as the thermostat kept kicking in and out.

    Of course the best is a wood burner. <He says with a smug grin.>

    I have always thought those halogen heaters would be good on a tent. Most of them a tilt switch and once off cool quickly so limiting the risk of a fire.
