Using propane exhaust to heat underneath?

Hey,
I got a question, so I'm about to put a skirt on my camper (using some black 6 mil polyethylene plastic I have, and hope to beef it up before January) I noticed the propane heater exhaust is kind of warm itself and was thinking about routing it with ducting under the skirt to warm things up.
I'm thinking it could be a great idea or it could be dangerous (maybe it seeps into the camper and I take a lil too long of a nap lol) what do y'all think?

Also if anyone has some ideas to insulate the windows other than plastic and tape I would love to hear them.

Thanks!

Yet another Darwin award potential idea..

Honestly, why does winter time bring out the cheapskate ideas on trying to stay warm?

Yes, there are folks who believe in fairies, pixy dust and unicorns and that propane will burn 100% clean ALL THE TIME.

Those folks will post that in theory burning propane makes only CO2 (Carbon DIOXIDE and water).. The problem is that is in a PERFECT world with the PERFECT burn, that seldom happens and some CO (Carbon MONOXIDE) IS produced.

In reality, no such thing as fairies, pixy dust and 100% clean burning propane.

Your RV is not 100% sealed on the underside and venting and trapping exhaust gasses from combustion of any fuel is not a wise thing to do. You will trap extra moisture, CO2 (displaces Oxygen) and CO (Carbon Monoxide) which IS deadly.

If you cannot afford to spend money on proper use of your RV heating system then perhaps you should not be considering cold weather camping..

Skirt it up if you must, but don't bother trapping your furnace exhaust under your RV.. Unless you really wish to wake up DEAD..

The man asked a question, I think your answer was a little on the nasty side. I am sure that a lot of people have asked differant types of questions including yourself and nobody answered with a nasty remark. Maybe you could have put in a different way.
