I wrote there is "no carbon monoxide to deal with". If there was carbon monoxide to deal with then I would not use one in my RV. There are many sources of carbon monoxide, yet you don't have to deal with it unless there is insufficient ventilation.
With respect to ventilation being necessary, fire/flame consumes oxygen. Without sufficient ventilation these heaters will deprive you of your life due to insufficient oxygen, not carbon monoxide. The heaters do have a low oxygen shut off that turns off the propane supply. As a responsible user of a catalytic heater I insure there is an adequate amount of oxygen available. If you want to use this type of heater and take adequate precautions they will provide the type of "Interior space heating improvements" the OP was inquiring about.
The fact that these specific heaters have been manufactured and used in RV's for decades is sufficient proof of their fitness for use.

Icamel, you said;ICamel wrote:

which was wrong. Now you start talking about ventilation. Why does it need ventilated if there is no CO output?
Not trying to beat on you, but there are naive people who will see a statement like you made originally and believe it without checking.
