Is the Travelbox camp heater loud when running at night?

Question:
We do a lot of dispersed camping and don't like the noise of generators. Is the Travelbox noisy like a generator? and my understanding is it doesn't need another power source?

Not at all, Rob. The Travelbox heater # AU36MR runs very quietly - it’s mostly just a soft hum and some faint ticking from the fuel pump which is very quiet. Definitely way quieter than a generator or even a propane furnace blower.
If you place it a few feet from your tent or trailer and route the duct inside, you’ll hardly notice it at all!
What are some of your favorite places to camp? And is this going in a roof top tent or ground tent?
