We use a Big Buddy to heat our RV. It is much more efficient than the furnace.
Same here.

I will not use an unvented combustion heater. There are plenty made that do vent.
I agree in theory, but I also think it depends on the cubic feet volume of the trailer. Ours is a 44' fifth wheel with three slides and high ceilings. Our buddy heater won't burn through all that O2 in one night.
People need to be careful with those heaters around pets though. We had an old (and not very bright) dog who singed her tail on the heater once. That was a scary lesson for us. She was a good ol' girl whom we inherited after my mother in-law passed, but she was "as dumb as a bag of hammers", as my pop used to say. She was lovely though, and we adopted the same breed after she passed.
