It's a kind of REGULAR idea on the forums where someone suggests capturing all that "wasted heat" and put it back inside the RV. If anyone actually DOES that we probably won't be hearing from them again because THAT'S where all the CO gas goes when the furnace is running. Most ANY safe furnace will combust using outside air (so the furnace does not exphixiate anyone by burning air they need to breath) and it doesn't POISON anyone by putting CO into the living quarters. They use a neat exchanger system and yes it DOES vent some heat. To have an EFFICIENT system you would need a far LARGER exchanger and that is money, weight, and space. ALL of those things are not available in most RVs.
