Added external propane quick connector

[erniecarpet@...]

What about a catalytic heater? Are those safe, as an alternative in our
coach? I'm sure that anything that has combustion emits CO2.

Added a quick connect fitting to the propane tank today so I can hook up outside
campstove.
Took the elbow going into the regulator and replaced it with a T, put a second
regulator
above the existing one with a quick connect hose fitting. Took about an hour
and about $20
in parts. I can also plug in a small propane heater, running the hose in thru a
window so
when dry camping I can get propane heat without the need for electricity if
necessary.

Kerry,

A "small propane heater" inside your coach is a good way to make sure
you and your family never wake up from a winter's nap. Might want to
reconsider that idea....

Catalytic heater works. Leave a window cracked. We've used them for years.

Aware of those issues. I have owned a motorhome with a non-forced air propane
heater
in the past and have been quite happy with it. The heater I have has an oxygen
depletion
sensor that automatically shuts it off if the oxygen level drops below a certain
point.

Kerry, I am not familiar with what type of heater you are talking
about. Is there an external exhaust? What happens if the oxygen
level sensor would fail? Please expand. I have used propane camp
style heaters in garage or tent type situations. I don't think I
would take a chance in a BB. I am also extremely sensitve to any
fumes at all. The only heater I use in my trailers and RV have been
the small electric heaters. Even these I would not leave unattended
do to potential fire risks. JEH

It was in a motorhome I owned in Europe. Never seen one in the US. No external
exhaust
that I was aware of. Can't remember the brand name. I keep a carbon monoxide
detector
in the motorhome so if the oxygen depletion sensor fails, the carbon monoxide
detector
would go off. I also open a window.
There is less combustion taking place in the propane heater than there is with
the stove
top burners or the oven.
