Is that all the big they are?? 6800 BTU?? I always felt that at least
12,000 BTU's were needed at minimum.

I used to own an old airplane - a Cessna 195 - and it seated  5 people -
two up front much like Vanagon captain seats, and three on a bench seat,
in a total space about like a car. It had a 24,000 BTU heater under th
back seat. it did the job, but even so, there were days in Alaska in
winter when it ran continually to keep the cabin warm - which ws tiny
compared to a Vanagon.

I owned a 68 Loaf for a few years. It had a Suburban motorhome heater
monted on the floor behind the driver seat. Now that was a heater!!!
Turn it on high and it would completely defrost and de-ice the van in
rairly short order. Nice in the Alaska winters.
