Anyone using the Mr. Heater "Journey" catalytic heaters?
Looks very similar to the Camco Olympian heaters - Mr. Heater Journey Catalytic Heaters (Not to be confused with the non-catalytic "Buddy" heaters) Anyone using one? Like it?

And if your lucky enough that the low setting of 1500BTU is enough, great, but if you need 5000BTU or more, compounds the potential moisture issue.
1,500 continuous BTUs is roughly equivalent to a 15,000 BTU furnace running 10 percent of the time.
Max output of this particular heater is 3,000 BTUs. If I need more than that, the furnace can make up the difference.
Using the furnace a little beats using it a lot, IMO.
Then again, if you're really that concerned about the extra moisture, just leave one of the kids at home. :B
Not really. Most RV furnaces are not very efficient, you may be getting only 11,000 btu's of heat from it. Then there is the electricity use,especially if not plugged in. Then the noise.Then the huge losses from duct work,in bigger rv's/campers, usually run in cold spaces. Just some reasons space heaters are so popular in rv's. Also,gas and electric space heaters are 100% efficient. If they have fans,then a bit less.
