For the Mr. Buddy that (ventilation) is the trade-off.   The Propex I have
is mounted under the bench seat which I wished
I hadn't and had placed it in the cabinet next to the water tank instead.
 But I installed it a long time ago (1998) before
those ideas were made aware to me.   The Catalytic heaters have to be in
the living space to work and so
take up valuable space that I'm not willing to give.   The porta-potty is
already taking too much space but
is a necessary piece of equipment but it does double as a chair if needed.
