Camping Safety Becomes a Concern With the Cold Fall Nights Fast Approaching

Share this news:

Camping heating becomes one of the top concerns as the fall approaches.

As the end of summer draws near, a lot of people start to think about staying warm on chilly fall nights. While central heating is the best single solution for tackling the first signs of the cold, some still want to enjoy nature and are looking for a reliable portable trailer heater that will be convenient to take on a weekend camping get-away. However, small electric heaters available in stores may impose fire hazards, reports say.

According to CPSC, from 2008 to 2010, portable electric heaters were involved in approximately 1,200 fires per year. The underlying problem is the high-wattage of appliances, which have the potential to ignite nearby combustible materials like curtains, beds, sofas, paper, clothing, and flammable liquids.

Also, according to consumerreports.org, the rule of thumb is that an air heater needs 20 BTU per square foot. Most popular portable heater models start at 9000 BTU, which means that when used for heating smaller spaces like teardrop trailers and small RVs, they are not only wasting energy, but they are also potentially dangerous.

While the common electric space heaters are dominant on the market, there are some alternatives that offer much safer heating solutions. Assuming that a standard teardrop trailer like this one is just about 175 Cu ft, only a 3,500 BTU unit is needed. There is a limited amount of such units available on the market, including ClimateRight’s models.

Evidentially, they are getting some positive reviews, and, according to YouTube videos, they are pretty easy to install, which makes them irreplaceable on camping trips. They also have a pretty impressive list of features for being small as they are. Not only are they designed as heaters, but they can also serve as an air conditioner, fan, and dehumidifier. Also, each model is equipped with auto and sleep modes, as well as auto-on and auto-off timers. The price for the unit is also very reasonable considering its multiple applications. All these features make ClimateRight products one of the most preferred trailer heaters.

Another alternative is gas heaters that are a popular option among campers. However, they will not get the job done when used for heating a closed small space with no ventilation. Vented units are designed to be placed next to an outside wall, with a flue gas vent installed to exhaust gaseous fumes to the outside. Therefore, they must be used with caution.

Overall, there are several options available on the market that make fall camping more comfortable. The main tip, however, stays the same – being safe is more important than being comfortable.
