I elected to leave my small MR Buddy as is in its portable status and running from the 1-lb canisters. It converts alot of water when being used so it has to sit in a drip pan anyway all the time. Also with the concerns about always having a open window or vent somewhere I just didn't want to make it "too" easy to use. I have plenty of 1-lb canisters with us all the time as our Coleman Road trip grill uses them as well.
Even with open vents we still don't sleep with our Mr Buddy running over night in the big trailer.
Its our number one heat source in our OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer when off road. The built-in propane furnace heater is just way too big for our POPUP trailer. It drives us out with all the heat it produces and is also way to noisy. Wakes me up every time it kicks on.
We don't run heaters in the POPUP trailer over night as well... Covers and a low wattage bed heater from Power Inverter works for us...
makes that bon-fire at day break feel so good with the first cup of morning coffee...
