Twenty years ago we had a '72 bus and camped with five kids and huge canvas tent . We had a Bernz-O-Matic propane camping heater which is the same "plat cat" style heater as the new Coleman, it was an avecado green colored (that tells you how old it was) steel box with room for two of the tall style propane cylinders inside and the round element and controls mounted on the outside. If you have one of these dinosaurs in your basement, dig it out! We found it to work very well in the tent with proper venting on chilly fall nights and early mornings in the mountains of New Hampshire and recently gave it to our son to use on his family camping trips then promptly went out and bought the Coleman version of the same thing. If it lasts half as long and works as well as the first one we owned it will be the bargain of the century. With The Coleman Duracat heater and the Bloss Porta -O-Matic A/C, every camper will have the ultimate in comfort and climate control!
