Hi Fred,
There is now a much better alternative power free vented heater available. Just what a boondocker who wishes to heat with propane needs. It even has a thermostat.

You might also consider a Olympic catalytic safety heater. I have a 6000 BTU model and it keeps my 30' Bounder toasty warm at 30F outside, and with a little furnace use, I can keep it 70 inside and 19 outside.
The olympic heater does not use any electrical power, and has no fan or exhaust system. You would keep a window and roof vent open, just like when running your stove. . .
GOod luck,
Fred.
