At this point, others seem more willing to just carry on a conversation that I am so......you failed to address my warning about Carbon Monoxide and that probably is the most important point in the whole discussion......unless you hook something up that starts a fire.
If all of the members of your party really DO think adhering to the "boondocking" plan is important......maybe an extra blanket or two would be a better solution all around.
I thought so. No facts.
As for the CO thing, I was thinking to satisfy your objections regarding getting off the topic - but since you insist.
** The motorhome has some permanent ventilation by design and a fair bit of incidental and accidental ventilation by virtue of construction
** the catalytic heater is supposedly fitted with a low oxygen cut off.
** Using one of my CO alarms with a digital readout I cannot detect ANY CO emitted from the heater in normal operation.
** we have THREE CO alarms and THREE smoke alarms and one Propane alarm. Basically the MH has three rooms and there is one CO and one smoke alarm in each room.
** the catalytic heater is in the living area so there are three detectors between us and the possible CO source.
I'm normally risk adverse but since the heater was in the MH when we bought it, I researched the dangers and modified things accordingly to the point where I have no problems running it all night. Some people drive their MH at 70mph with grandkids roaming around and wife cooking dinner, but not me. (BTW Neither is permitted in Australia, but this is America) To each his own.
