Quite possibly a dumb question but bear with me.
We recently bought a Mr Heater propane heater and a 5' adapter hose to connect a 20# cylinder to it. After getting it back to the RV (fulltimers), I read the instructions which stated not to hook up a 20# cylinder indoors. Is this a CYA on their part or is it really dangerous to have the heater and 20# cylinder inside our RV. We wanted to run the Mr Heater overnight as they are much more efficient that the LP furnace and the 1 pound disposables only last 4.5 hours on the low setting.
By the way, years ago we had a Mr Heater Big Buddy in a 43' diesel pusher. I put a T in the gas line to the oven/stove and ran a hose to the Mr Heater. Never had an issue.
Not just fire but also Hypoxia hazard.
