If you need heat while sleeping, time for a heater upgrade. At the
least, get a carbon monoxide detector and hope it works. Using a heater
like this is also an ideal way to rust the van out from the inside-out
as the moisture condenses behind everything. Go for a Propex.

Subject: Venting With Propane Heater

Westy campers,

Does anyone have a preferred venting method while using a propane
heater?
Side widows? Vent windows? Skylight? Combo? How do I know I'm drowsy
from a
couple of Rolling Rocks, and not from coal miners syndrome? I'm all for
venting carbon monoxide, but would like to retain a little heat, too.

I use a Coleman portable catalytic heater.

Thanks!
