Howdy all, I'm guessing you all know the Buddy Heaters! Camping glamour tool ;)

Well I had the old type of heater "I believe are now illegal" and they dont have any cut off switches for the "co2 and tilt", so I wanted to upgrade.
I got the cheapest one i could find with the saftey issues handled and one that uses the 1kg gas bottles, this heater can also be run off a 9kg bottle also :) nice huh $100 off flea bay "new", pick up!

Now, the problem with this little "not so little by the way" heater is that it has no fan- it's big brothers does but I'm stuck for space in the camper and it was to big for my needs... No problem I thought as the camper is small and the other heater warmed the space well with out a fan, and boy this one does! Same issue as the old heater though, the heat goes trait up!

But then I found these, and by no means was I the first lol people love these fans and heaters...
How's these little fans, no batteries needed and it stops the heat going strait up lol classic huh
Danmmmm expensive too, but worth it! $60 delivered..

I knocked up a piece of alloy to sit it on and it works a treat! It comes off and gets packed away and that's the down side, but if you can get somewhere safe to store the thing it's well worth it... happy camping:)

Here's the old one side by side, yup, not so little huh... the old one was perfect, small and packed away but uses those no fill disposable gas cans urrrrrg! You can fill them but it wasn't my cup of tea, the 1kg bottles are safer to refill...

For those curious;) it takes about a minute to fire up and gets faster the hotter it gets then flattens out at top speed...lol
Not enough to blow a feather over but it does throw the heat out a good 3 to 4 feet then strait up lol nooo, I'm kidding, it heats the camper on low...this thing roars And the fan works well with it!
Great for Vic high country atm, makes changing and bedding a treat now ;)

Danm, it won't let me up load, file to big ??..... why?
