For many of us, the winter months are when we put our ‘vans into storage, yet for some, the colder months are a prime time to set off on tour. A crucial part of being able to enjoy the delights of the season will be keeping warm – which is where these Black Friday heater deals come in.
The best heater for a campervan will provide ‘van owners with portability, a reasonable wattage and, of course, extra heat. A portable option also makes a great choice for those who find themselves not wanting to sleep with their motorhome heating system running overnight, whether it’s during the traditional off-season or you find yourself facing an unexpected chill in the air on a summer’s evening.
While Black Friday isn’t until the 29th November, the sales have already started at many retailers and it’s a great chance for ‘van owners to secure a bargain. I’ve been browsing the Black Friday sales so far and a few heater deals in particular have caught my eye…

Dimplex OFRB7N Eco Chico Mini Radiator was £59.99 now £50 (save 17%)
We’d say this Dimplex heater is a great mid-wattage option for ‘van owners looking for extra warmth on tour. It comes in at 5.4kg yet its dimensions should ensure it’s fairly easy to store, as it’s 44.6 x 29.6 x 19.4 (H x L x D in cm). It should offer an efficient source of heat, with its thermostat allowing you to control the temperature. It’s oil-free and comes with a useful 1.3m cable which will help ‘van owners to create the ideal setup. It’s currently available with a 17% saving at both Argos and Amazon, bringing it down to only £50.
De’Longhi TRNS0505M was £54.99 now £46.74 (save 15%)
Unlike the Dimplex, this heater is an oil-filled option that can heat a space of up to 15m³. It offers a 500w output and comes with the type of features ‘van owners are likely to look for in a heater. For instance, two carry handles ensure it will be straightforward to move as required, making its 5.5kg weight easier to carry from the front lounge to the bedroom area at the back. We also like how it offers an even heat distribution, while the overheat safety protection provide peace of mind.
Pro Breeze Mini Heater was £24.99 now £19.99 (save 20%)
This small option is ideal if you want a budget-friendly way to heat a small space on tour. Its standout feature is its total portability, weighing only 710g and measuring 10 x 10.5 x 16.5cm – this is a heater you will have no trouble getting into place. The 500w heater comes with a useful thermostat and heat control dial too, while it features an automatically off tip-over switch and overheat protection for peace of mind. It’s currently on offer in the Black Friday sale with a 20% discount, bringing it down to £19.99
Kampa Diddy Portable Heater was £25.99 now £19.99 (save 23%)
Made by well-known brand Kampa, this heater is able to operate on either 750w or 1500w, giving you the freedom to get the setup that suits you. Compact and portable are two words that are always music to a ‘van owner’s ears, and that applies here, while it also offers good safety features in the form of a tip-over protection switch and thermal overheat protection. While this offer isn’t actually part of Amazon’s Black Friday sale, it’s currently reduced by 23%, bringing it down to only £19.99 – a deal we thought was too good to not bring to your attention.
These aren’t the only deals we’ve spotted so far either, with the chance to save 16% on the TomTom Go Camper Max 2nd Gen at Amazon too, ideal if you’re looking for some extra navigation aid on tour.
