12v fan and 12v heater

[CornishDaddy]

So, the missues suffers from the cold (eat more pies I say) and I suffer from the heat (eat less pies she says!).

Can anyone recommend a 12v (clip on) fan or 12v heater.

The fan is for the cab and roof tent. the heater jsut the cab of our 200tdi landie. I was looking at this which is perhaps too cheap (?)

In previous lives I have had rubbish versions of each. I would guess you must be able to get a good 12v fan, but I think we might have to look for another solution for the heater.

As usual eternally grateful for peoples opinion. Hopefully I won't have to end up buying a compressor this time though

I had one from a truck stop years ago it did stop oscillating after a while but for the rest it was good and cheap. as for 12v heater try to get an auxiliary heater from an old mini bus they link in to your colling system and have a 12v fan. Does the landy heater not work good enough?

My wife is a bit the same, we bought a 12V heated blanket which she wrapped around her legs and that did the trick.

Ahh that gets me thinking - maybe a seat heater. Does anyone know if they are any good? Only £15 so cheap enough .........

Fan,
We used one of those cheap fans during a year in Africa. It still works!! You have to handle it with care but they are fine. For sleeping too, but very noisy. The misses could'nt stand the noise and slept outside in a tent when it was so hot that you needed the air.

Heater,
I think you drain your batteries in record time when you use electric heating. I am going to instal a webasto diesel heater for cabin heating because we always sleep inside the car. Look on e-bay. You do not need to buy a new one.

Cheers,

Those heaters look like they need some professional plumbing in? What's the story?

Thanks for the answers BTW ........
