Is to turn the burners on, on your gas stove top and let it heat the coach up. ONCE WARMED UP, TURN THEM OFF.
Now... they nay-sayers are going to jump all over me (again) and swear up and down the fumes and exhaust from the burners are going kill you, are going to burn the camper down, is a bad idea, won't work, and put too much moisture in the air or anything else. But.... if this is such a bad idea, then why have a stove in the camper to begin with. If it was so dangerous, you'd burn the camper down, put too much moisture in the air, or poison yourself boiling water for your morning coffee then too!
No, don't sleep with the burners on. No, don't leave the burners on and you are not right there to monitor them. But... to take the initial chill out of the air, or to help heat things up quick ... ok ... put a pot of water on the stove and fire it up!
There, I said it again. Now .. go ahead... beat me up!
