Be sure to have some warm blankets if you need them, and leave a window open a little bit to get in fresh air all the time. THen you will not suffer from a possible leak. You can not run the heater or stove inside a enclosed vehicle, especially a car with highly flamible seat cusions.
The RV stove is different, permanate mounted to the cabinets, so it can not tip over, steel sides with a rating to not light the walls on fire, ect. and enough air space around the stove to prevent CO poision, because there is sufficient air to run the stove, even in the enclosed vehicle, providing there is a window and roof vent open.

Thanks Fred! I appreciate how you explained how RV stoves are different.
The one thing that I don't want to do is sleep with windows open in my van. I snore; and I've been told that I snore loudly. So windows open mean there is more chance of someone hearing me in car as I sleep at night and reporting it.
What I might do is store the propane tank in the front seat at night with the window cracked open a little, since my head is at the liftgate end of the van. I have a black shower curtain liner completely blocking off the front seats from the rear of the van so no one can see me.
