Please! Use the furnace installed in your RV for it's intended purpose. If you must either increase your battery bank or buy a generator. I'm getting tired of reading of folks who don't or barely make it till morning. The undertaker can wait.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I honestly haven't heard of anyone dieing from using a propane heater in an RV. I've certainly heard of people dying from running generators or charcoal grills in their houses during power outages, but I haven't heard of anyone dying from running a propane catalytic heater. Has there actually been any posting about deaths from them on RV.NET?

I use a Big Buddy heater in my ice tent and also in early spring and late fall in my trailer. Even though it has a low oxy shutoff we leave lots of air flow. Try a Google search "man dies from carbon monoxide from heater in camper" and several stories of people dyeing in campers.
