Sure, lots of us Vanagonians have 'em.

There was quite a thread about them a while back. Some people complained
about the smell, others didn't.

Work fine, inexpensive, releases H2O in van, consumes a bit of O2, like all
combustion-based devices will.

I think all though it was dangerous to sleep with it ignited in van - but
maybe there was a brave? soul or two who didn't.
