Ah, yes, but not all of us have LQ. :-)
I have used a Mr. Heater/Big Buddy in the past,
never after turning in for the night, but believe I will find another place to
use it and will find another place to store my tanks OUTSIDE of the tack
room.
I see some suggestions here that may be
helpful. There are deaths due to CO poisoning in trailers every year, and
an occasional fire, so it is good to give this subject some attention as we head
into the cold season.
I wasn't aware that RMs have rules regarding generators but I
for one appreciate NOT being kept awake by a generator. Having been the guest
of friends in their LQ trailers, it is quite possible to stay comfortable all
night without running the generator. If newer gens are quiet enough, I don't
see why it is an issue, but then the ones who camp next to those with
generators ought to get to make the call.

Is there any chance that rides will allow
generators to be run after "bedtime" in the future, given the obvious risk
of using propane heaters? No, not everyone can afford $45,000 or more
for a nice LQ trailer with safe heat. Yes, those of us who truly love
the sport will "rough it" when we have to. But at the same time, most
of today's electric generators are very quiet and a small space heater would
obviate the need to carry propane and have an open flame within an enclosed
trailer.
