Re: In preparing for camping. Some questions.
What sort of a space are you hoping to heat? Trailer? Tent? RV? I've got one of these that I use in a small tent trailer for camping in the spring. All you need to supply is a 1lb propane bottle which is easy to find an Canadian Tire, or WalMart. I would say it would be good for heating a medium to large sized bedroom given some time.

And yes, the heater is ready to go except you'll need propane It uses the common stubby propane canisters used in propane lamps, etc. Of course, you can buy the optional extension hose and filter and connect it to a larger BBQ size propane tank for much longer run time.
My living room is about 15 x 15 feet, or 225 sq. ft. The heat also carries over into the adjoining kitchenette. I'm using it to supplement the gas heating, & it really helps; it even gets my always-cold feet warm!
Anyway, before buying, I'll recommend you to read some reviews on homedepot.com, bestadvisor.com or consumersearch.com etс.
Hope this helps, & good luck.
This is a propane heater. What are you plugging in??
