Suggestion of small propane heater?
Returned home this past weekend and spent first night in Walmart parking lot. (check off bucket list!!) However, 37 was a tad chilly. I see there are small propane heaters on Amazon, but unsure if ...

Hi Francesca,
No, the "others" are RV folk (such as you).
Anyone know what is meant by "C3"?
So, you have intimate and total knowledge of running an unvented combustion heater correctly. You take the time to measure the opening of the vent, and open it the approved amount. Then you go to sleep. But while you are asleep the wind comes up....and the vent closes (mine do this in wind).
Many folks don't bother with directions.
If my life is possibly at stake--I'd pick the safest possible heater. That, for catalytic, is the vented platinum cat.
I wish naturist had posted a link to the newspaper article which documents the death of some one camping and using a heater.
If my opinion is wrong--the end user has spent a couple of hundred dollars more for a heater of superior design with a thermostat that maintains an even temperature and does not cause moisture build up inside an RV.
If your opinion is wrong--the end user may die.
"The catalytic heater did not comply with the combustion requirements specified in the standard for infrared radiant camp heaters (ANSI Z21.63-2000). The heater depleted the O2 concentration below 16 percent in the test chamber and also exceeded the 100 ppm limit for CO in the test chamber."

Others may jump in and say that unvented combustion heaters are safe to use, if the directions are followed. I disagree with them.
It follows that you also disagree with those regulatory authorities in the U.S./Canada/elsewhere that have approved as safe the indoor use of properly equipped propane heaters.
The O.P. must decide whose opinion bears the most weight and decide accordingly.
