What about a catalytic heater? Are those safe, as an alternative in our
coach? I'm sure that anything that has combustion emits CO2. Ernie Ekberg 83PT40 Livingston, Mt -with one heater turned off cause the fumes are bad ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

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 82 Fc 35 Denver |

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 > > Aware of those issues.

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.
