Is this heater appropriate to use in a large tent? I have a 15x15 Marquee tent that I am trying to keep <warm> during Winter events in Florida.

I gave it to someone to use in a house and I think if you follow the safety guidelines you should be ok

It will do the job but you cannot keep it on over night due to carbon monoxide poisoning. I use it sporadically in my garage as a hideout but the garage has a lot of drafts so I can leave it on for a while but never in an enclosed area or you will be tenting for the last time!

It would work okay I guess. Make sure you have plenty of ventilation. Burning propane releases toxic gases.

No flame type heater is safe in a tent. Now with that being said, i have use mine in a pop up blind for hunting. Just have to make sure you have the tank on a stable base and no objects close to the bell of the heater. Tents being nylon, if the bell is to close it, it will melt the fabric. Would not recommend use during sleeping.

It's fine, I use mine in a 55 Gal so you have plenty even if you decide to go to a bigger tank. Enjoy these are the best heaters.

Ya, of course I think you should get a bigger one, it will stop if the temperature too high, but I got a bad news, my heater was not working anymore after 2 weeks I bought, and I don't know the reason, it like some fuse burn inside.

I have not used mine in a tent yet but I use it in my Motorhome and do not believe it would be a problem. I have 2 of them now and the unit itself does not get Hot.

I have used it in my bot cabin and in tents before. No problem using it short term in a trailer, just crack a window. I wouldnt use it unattended and don't try to substitute it for a heater.

it has 2 settings, 400 watts and 800 watts. It won't heat your 15x20 room...it's more of a spot heater at the 800 watt setting. If you want something that can easily heat up with those dimensions, I would go for a Living Pure heater that puts out 1500 watts and which radiates the heat in all directionsI don't even use the oscillating feature because then the heat dispersion is uneven

Yes, it's a sturdy tent for the money. The poles are what I would call a mid-Guage but definitely do the job well. I wouldn't do chip ups on them once erected but they are more than adequate for holding the product nicely for a lengthy time. I'm not sure I'd use anything that produces a lot of heat because the material will melt with direct heat is applied. A couple small electric heaters on the ground in the corners should work as long as they are aimed inward. The tent will hold the heat since the material is not breathable. Hope this helps..

VERY poor insulation is only one factor in understanding room "heat loss" so it is difficult to answer your question specifically. Any heater would be used to compensate for this "heat loss" and provide "enough heat". Given the size of the room, I would think you will see some limited improvement in comfort but it would be difficult for this OR any 1500W heater to sustain a high level of heat comfort IF you have significant heat loss.

This heater will heat that size room but the heater needs a large amount of oxygen. You should use this heater on a screen porch or out side to be safe. They are great heaters.

I'd say that is probably pushing it on size. However, using two of these heaters there might work. You might want to try an infrared heater instead. It heats the air pretty effectively and I use one in my 12x15 bedroom as the only heat source here in the mountains.

Honestly, it would depend on how cold it is. It looks more powerful than it is, but it could work. It would have to be close to you to be effective. I would check out propane heaters for tent use instead.

If you are using it with a tarp tent pitched the right, it should definitely produce some effective heat. You could use it in aregular backpacking tent with a great deal of care and caution. Would work better in conjunction with a tarp.

The tent is new! I don't remember if it had a warranty, and yes you can put a heater in it! I wouldn't recommend a tall standing heater, but I used a propane heater, and it worked fine! We live in VT and have used it for several events! We love it.. It took 2 of us about 2 hours to set up....including the sides.

Only thing I used was some thread sealer to attach the fitting to the heater.Very easy to set up and works REAL nice.I use it in a 10x12 ice shanty and theres 5 heat settings.You could wear shorts it gets so hot.Hope this helps and good luck.

You should look for a 4 season tent if you plan to camp in winter storms. Not sure id recommend this tent for any precipitation other than rain and winds <15mph.

I would definitely look elsewhere for your application. This heater uses a lot of electricity, and is not really suited to this.

Well, like I said in my post that I have a 15x23 room and I'll tell you--I was very surprised that it heated it up as good as it did. Personally, I think this heater is the best one I've found so far. It gets pretty warm, also you can move the lever up or down to let the heat go where you want it to go. When I first get up in the mornings, I sit on the couch drinking my coffee and I put that heater in front of me and pull the lever down where the heat is going right on me. LOL--I'm not good with square feet. So what ever 15x23 is. Hope that helped.
