For anyone following the catalytic heater discussion and scratching
their heads over cost, venting, etc., keep in mind that if you go to
campgrounds with 110V outlets, a little $20 1500W electric heater
will work fairly well. We found that we had to turn ours down to a
lower setting at BBTT even with outside temps approaching freezing.

I recommend the kind with fan rather than the straight radiative
kind.  No fumes or CO worries, put it anywhere, and low cost.  Of
course, if you have that special remote camping spot, you won't have
power.

My 2 Pfennig.
