John, yes but not cost wise for Tina because she is already paying for the hire if the electrical system with the electricity for free. It would I suspect be difficult to heat the inner tent or whatever from a gas supply.Hello Ray,
If any one is interested in fuel efficiency (I'll duck now to avoid the response) then the figures go rather like this.
The main electricity generators are lucky to hit 35 to 40% at the power station, Losses through transmission maybe 2% so at best. So electric heating gives you about 33 to 38% conversion of burnt fuel to usable heat at home (or in the caravan)
All gas fires must achieve at least 70% efficiency before they cam be sold in the UK, many will exceed this. Some caravan appliances (Carver/Truma 1800 underfloored flued heaters) approach 95%, so Gas heating is more fuel efficient than electricity.

Phew!!!!!!!!! sensible answer, whats wrong with me.Tina
Stick with electricity,problem with any gas applience are the fumes. A table top patio heater would be the ideal solution if it wern't for the fumes but you would gas everybody. I use a small non fan type electric fire (have done for years) no moving parts just uses convection and this works fine.
