When not camping with electric, I was going to try using a candle. Thinking of making a mounting where the candle can not get knocked over and try that. I have used candles in a 8' cabover camper and it took the chill off in it. My camper is and old one and I don't think it is very well insulated at all.

There was a thread some time ago about using candles for heating when no power was available. I didn't think one candle would be enough, so I made a 3 candle heater using a 1 qt. paint can and a $1 box of candles.
I melted about 5 candles in the can and set three in the middle and let it solidify.
