Heating a static caravan in winter is not as much of a problem as you might think. There’s a good range of portable electric heaters on the market, many of which are thermostatically controlled and very cost-effective to run.
Fixed, wall mounted electric heaters can also make a difference to the warmth inside your static and can also be an economical way to keep warm.
Electric heating offers other benefits too:
* Many electric heaters can be coupled up with solar panels, to create an environmentally-friendly, as well as economical, heating option.
* If you’re considering solar, research options which are made specifically for mobile homes and boats. Full domestic kits can be purchased for under £1,000. These can be sufficient to get you started with solar and have the added benefit that you can add to and upgrade the system over time.
* Some electric radiators are designed to double up as heated towel rails and tea towel rails too.
* Wall mounted electric panel heaters are also useful, and take up little space. They can cost around £80 each but can be economical to run and can have a very long life-span.
