One of my main issues with ANY of the portable (not built in) propane heaters being used inside an RV is .... how does it get it's propane?
I really don't feel comfortable having either: A small propane tank inside the RV to power the heater (obviously a big no-no) or ... a flexible hose from the RV's main tank piping somehow making/snaking it's way over to the heater. That's a leak waiting to someday happen.
All propane appliances in our RV get their propane supply via solid steel or copper tubing and I certainly want to keep it that way.
IMHO, millions of RV owners so far getting away with a flexible hose transporting propane within the living areas of their rigs is a long way from making engineering safety sense.
