We use the single tank buddy heater . It keeps the camper warm and it has a tip over safety as well as low oxygen safety shut off and is a nice size to store and doesn’t have a big footprint when in use. You need to keep a window or vent cracked open . We use a thermal pad under it since to floor gets hot and
The pad deflects some of the heat up into the space . Installed a second co detector to be safe, normally do not sleep with the heater running .Like any heater in a camper you get condensation even more so if you cook without venting or have big space temperature swings .Very happy with the buddy heater after three seasons of use . We also have an built in fireplace type electric heater that is used when we have power .
