Roof tent / tent good heating (winter camping)?
Hello camping friends,
Camping provides pure relaxation. If your tent is set up by a lake, in the forest, or in the mountains, you can truly experience nature.
It's just a shame that in winter, with nighttime temperatures around 0 degrees Celsius, it's no longer quite as comfortable in the tent and camping is no longer really enjoyable.
There are different heaters on the market;
- electric fan heaters
- Diesel-powered auxiliary heater
Do you have any experience with this?
- How warm can it get in the tent with this? 15 degrees?
- What is more recommended in terms of operating noise / heating costs during continuous operation overnight (8 hours)?

I helped me with a heating blanket in autumn. However, this is not suitable for continuous operation. A thick sleeping bag will probably be more useful 😀
In some cases, I already cooked my tea in the tent. You could fill a heat bottle before you sleep. Otherwise there is also an extra lining for the tent as an accessory.
To completely heat a tent one of the most senseless ways to waste its energy because the thin fabric does not hold back or reflects.
When you stay in nature in winter, cold is now part of it, remedy creates matching clothes and a corresponding sleeping bag. Alternatively, you can also build a conservatory to the house.
Don’t be angry… but if you want to enjoy “pure nature” on the mountain lake or in the forest, there’s one thing that doesn’t belong: a heating!
On the one hand, you solve your problem with the appropriate clothing, on the other hand with the right equipment in relation to a corresponding sleeping bag and a tent designed for it.
In addition, you usually have a small cooker with you: hot water and fill one or two bed bottles. Put it in the sleeping bag and it’s good.
How warm it gets in the tent depends on all possible environmental parameters, we cannot predict you.
And, seriously, if you want to let the heater run all night, you don’t have the right sleeping bag for the temperature.
For me, a thriving diesel heating would also be nothing that I would combine with “nature”…
Heating fans in the tent are relatively inefficient because this is not insulated and the heat thus easily escapes to the outside. I’d rather invest in a warm sleeping bag.
If the heater is to be operated completely in the tent, I would dispense with gas / diesel and take what electric, because no exhaust gases are produced.
Heating is silent, inefficient, expensive, noisy – and possibly EVERYTHING (if gas is used as oxygen is removed). Fast fatal carbon monoxide poisoning!).
Instead: Warm clothes, warm sleeping bag!
