I've just stuck the carver P4 in my van. Maybe the output has changed on
these beasts, as mine states a heat output of 2.2Kw, which translates to
7,500 btu's.

The brochure does mention heat twice in the technical data section and lists
two temperatures. I'm just assuming it produces the lower of the two.

Max heat output = 2.2kw = 7500btu
Gas consumption : Full heat 2.4kw (175gms/h) = 8189btu

I haven't had chance to really use it, but I'll be spending a few weekends
in the van up at Tahoe this winter, and we'll see how it goes.
