I have a "plain vanilla" Coleman catalytic heater.  No blower, and you have
to light it with a match, but it works well in the VW.  I use it in the
evening prior to turning in, then light it in the morning about 1/2 hour
before getting up.

Did you ever figure out how to recycle those small propane bottles?  One of
the reasons I don't use the heater more is because I can't figure out how to
get rid of those things.  I hate to just see them wind up in a land fill
somewhere.
