Teardrop Snow Camp 3

Teardrop camping in the snow with our 6x12 double family style camper. The Teardrop is well insulated but temps were in the teens so we ran a candle heater, 12v car heater and climbed under a pile of blankets. bendteardrop.com

Hi Dave, How did it go with the candle heater and 12v car heater?

[@bendteardrop]

Yea I forgot to address that in the video. Both options don’t put out a ton of heat. It was mid 40s in the cabin and 12 degrees outside. We slept comfortably under a few extra blankets. I was going to run an electric space heater but our little inverter couldn’t handle it. We have a big lithium battery, going to try a better inverter next time. Looking to find the driest heat option that’s not propane or diesel.

@@bendteardrop Good to know - thanks. - I've been curious about the candle heater. I've heard of people using a 200W Lasko My Heat heater with those lithium batteries. I guess it's time for us to bite the bullet and buy one of those big batteries. Love your campers!

@@cellomatt we have a 90amp lithium battery in this camper. Just added a 1,100 watt inverter hardwired straight to battery it can run a little 200 watt space heater for several hours. Make sure you get around 1,000 watt inverter
