[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 571783, member: 3775"] Actually Jaros I have been toying with my Idea for years so Last winter I decided to do some testing on it, My Idea was to buy a Greenhouse 240v Electric Tube heater the 1 foot or 12" model measures about 16" long or around 400/450mm and it has a built in thermostat so you can set the Temp and it is rated at 45 Wh, You can buy these things up to 6ft long / 182cm, Anyways I tested it out by plugging it in to my small 300w inverter and it was impressive, Best part about them is the temp builds up as long as you keep the doors and windows shut while your away from camp, I test it in a large box where it was 14*c and after an hour or 2 it was reading 27* in there with the lid closed, They only cost about 20 / $36 ish AUD so it was a no brainer to get one and try it out, I think the 3ft one chews about 90wh from memory but don't quote me on that,, But even the 2ft model chews about 55 to 70w and with over 231Ah of useable battery power I think I have enough to run one of these on cold nights and having a built in thermostat it should save a bit of power, The one I got is about 16"/400mm X about 2" / 50-60mm fat so it can be mounted just about anywhere using the supplied brackets :Y: [/QUOTE]
