Nothing beats settling down under your awning for a few drinks or a meal, or to simply sit around, relax and chat, and it\u2019s all the better if you have heating. You will, of course, have heaters in your caravan so it can be cosy and warm in there, but what about outside, under your awning? You definitely need an awning heating system!<\/p>\n<p>Before you consider what awning heater you need to think about whether you want a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/best-caravan-draft-skirts\/\">caravan side skirt<\/a> to help keep the heat in and which size awning you have.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/best-caravan-awning\/\">Large caravan awning<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/best-porch-awning\/\">A Porch awning<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/caravan-sun-canopy-reviews\/\">A sun canopy (not quite an awning)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/air-awning-reviews\/\">An air awning<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are many options for awning heaters that you can hang or mount outside \u2013 and some of those we have chosen are also certified for use indoors \u2013 so let\u2019s check out the best we could find, and see if there\u2019s one here that would do the job for you.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_61 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662f9629f3335\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662f9629f3335\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/awning-heater\/#Best_Caravan_Heaters_Our_Selections\" title=\"Best Caravan Heaters (Our Selections)\">Best Caravan Heaters (Our Selections)<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/awning-heater\/#1_Firefly_Silver_Infrared_15kW\" title=\"1.

This one has special ceramic elements that are very efficient, and is designed for use in compact spaces so would be perfect for a caravan, or an awning, or even in a tent if you have the power source.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s <strong>very small and \u2013 at 1500W<\/strong> \u2013 powerful for its size and price.

Is there one here for you, and which would we recommend? Let\u2019s consider the options!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Our Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, let\u2019s address the one problem that is always evident with caravans and awnings: power. You most likely have a power supply from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/best-leisure-battery\/\">leisure battery<\/a> or similar, or you may have settled at a site that offers you a mains electricity supply. That being the case, five out of our six selections will work for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have electricity, or want to save what you have in your batteries, then the only one you can use is no. 4, the SunGas heater. It operates from a standard gas canister that you can buy at any hardware or camping store, and that is universal pretty much across the world, and provides you with a sensible amount of heat, too, so you might want to check it out further in case you end up somewhere with no mains power supply.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the electric models, then, and there are a couple we like. The first one we recommend you look at more closely is the last one on the list, the Kampa fan heater. It\u2019s cheap, it\u2019s simple and yet it\u2019s also surprisingly powerful and effective, and if a fan heater suits you, then we can\u2019t see anything wrong with what is a superbly priced little heater.<\/p>\n<p>Our favourites, however, are undoubtedly the two Firefly models which are both infrared heaters. One hangs from above, the other mounts on a wall or can be stood down, and both feature very efficient and cheap to run halogen elements that are ideal for use in awnings and caravans. You may pay a little more for these, but they come highly recommended from many satisfied users.<\/p>\n<p>So, check out our selection of awning heaters again, and get yourself one so you can enjoy those evenings under your awning!
