Something about a high pressure propane tank with a pressure relief valve on it has me concerned. (worried).
I have a Olympic Catalytic heater that runs on low pressure gas, and is tied into my RV gas pipe with a tee located under my oven. That way if there is a propane leak, the leak detector will go off, and shut off propane supply to the RV.
I have run the heater at 6,000 feet elevation with no problems, but don't know if there is a cut-off or low oxygen sensor on my model - 1994.
Make sure that you leave it on high heat output for at least 15 minutes to fully light the pad, and get it red all over the surface, before going to lower heat setting.
Good luck,
Fred.
