Well there is that recent report of the urban outdoorsman killing himself accidently with a Mr Heater. But it was the parabolic type, which is marked for outside use only, he disabled all the safety features, turned it face up and was cooking on it. Result: lots of Carbon Monoxide. And one bright red urban outsdoorsman.
I know some people use the blue flame type heaters in their RV and do it safely. They claim major propane savings since RV furnaces blow a lot of expensive hot air out of the RV and suck in lots of cold air for the furnace combustion.
We haven't camped in a cold climate enough to worry about it tho.
Maybe I don't understand your comment ... but our RV furnace does not inject any outside cold air into the inside of the coach for warming of the interior. It only recirculates all air interior air for heating the inside of the coach. The only "outside" air circulated is for the burning of the gas flame.
