I have to confess -- I have an irrational fear of the propane heaters -- will they use up all the oxygen? Poison me with carbon monoxide?
I say "irrational" because thousands of people use these with no trouble at all. And yes, they have to be vented, but nobody would do without some fresh air ventilation inside the RV, regardless of what kind of heater you have. So the ventilation requirement is no reason to doubt the worth of propane heaters.
And yes, there can be condensation if the ventilation is not adequate, but again that is true of all heaters.
And the little propane units are silent (unlike the built in furnace!) and use no power (also unlike the furnace).
One of these days I will overcome my prejudices and get a small propane unit.
