Steve,

This topic was covered pretty well a couple weeks ago.  I did go out an buy one
as a
result of that thread. Home Depot was selling them for $39.  It is only a 3,000
BTU
heater but helps take the chill off.  Since it is not vented, adds a lot of
moisture
to the inside of the van as a burn by-product.  When first used stank pretty bad
 but now
I am either use to it or it doesn't smell as bad.  Don't use it while sleeping.
  It burns
clean but will use up oxygen.

On a sad note, a fellow member from my Jaguar list recently died when his Jaguar
 slipped of the
jack stands and crushed him.  Please make sure your stands are placed properly
and use a back up
such as blocks of wood or even the tire itself if nothing else is available.
