Drip Pot Diesel Stove

A question: Wouldn't a propane catalytic heater provide the same benefit, or do you view the oil stove as more convenient from a fuel storage standpoint, not to mention No.2 oil is considerably less volatile than LP?

Propane Catalytic heaters are nice but the primary reason I am considering diesel is that propane can be scarce in a lot of places and I can carry a 5 gal Jerry can in the back of the truck that would last weeks. Also the diesel stove requires no electricity which is a big plus.

I will admit that I havent figured out the propane tank deal yet either. I.e., do I carry 2 20 gal tanks that can be filled at lots of gas stations down south or 2 30 gal that would last longer but are harder to fill? The wife and I are adventurous but we are getting older and this new RV and all its luxury is hard to contemplate. I mean we have a 6 gal propane hot water heater that I consider a complete waste of space and I was going to remove it and use the space for storage but now the wife isnt so sure!!!
