60 would be tropical in our motorhome. It gets down to about 40. That's too cold for even 3 pairs of thermals, socks and a sweatshirt. All the down comforters I've seen are white. Not a chance i'm taking that camping ;)

We bought a duvet that the comforter fits into. It matches the sheet color.

we boondock, so no hookups.

I like the electric blanket, and a little electric heater.

When operating a non-vented heater there are TWO possible issues.
CO is one, CO can be prevented if the burner is properly adjusted, and in most Catalytic heaters, it is properly adjusted, CO output is very low, if any.

However not only do you not want to breath CO.. YOU DO want to breath Oxygen.

And the heaters eat oxygen.. Now some of them have a sensor which is SUPPOSED to shut 'em down before it shuts you down.. If, that is, it works, and though I often put a lot of faith in safety gear... That much I don't have. (Faith that is).. The safety gear I trust is way simpler than that sensor.

I have open windows. My husband rolls his eyes, but I'm not closing them lol (2 are cracked about an inch)

We let it cool down to 60 degrees at night and use a good quality down comforter - king size on a queen size bed. Works quite well and we sleep with minimal night clothes.

My wife hates cold and sleeps with a blanket in the summer. I forgot to turn the furnace on one night and it got down to 38 degrees. She didn't even realize it.

If you're operating the Blue flame according to instructions, it should NEVER set off the CO detector.

I hope you're not depending on the CO detector to tell you when to ventilate ...do follow all of Blue flame's directions per venting at all times.

Good advice - and since you're using propane, get a propane detector also.

hmmmmm that's usually my nose ;) but when I'm sleeping that might be a good idea. Never heard of them.
