Re: [RC] Propane Heat can be safe - Sisu West Ranch
"...Our home also is not the best insulated so fresh air is

That is part of the extra problems with a trailer
LQ. They are actually much better air sealed than most homes, even in the
frigid North. There is also much less volume.
The bottom line: Be very very careful with
propane heat in a LQ. I personally, only use an outside air combustion RV
furnace. If I did not have that I would use my good sleeping bags to
sleep, and only run the space heater when I was awake.
There is also a fire issue. The previous
owner of my camper, apparently did not understand batteries and furnaces.
When I got it the battery was not a deep cycle, and the furnace had
issues. They had installed a catalytic heater, but apparently were quite
lucky with a portable one before. There is a charcoaled spot on the
bathroom door where something started it on fire. Just a few more minutes
