Argghhh!! Reading your email reminded me that I left the awning ordering
info at home -- again! Well, if I ever remember to bring it to work, I
will be getting the 9'10" version. This is the size that I saw at
Everybus and it covers from mid-front door to the back of the bus. Also,
this size is about a foot wider then the 8'2" version.

The Black cat heater is made to use the small screw-on propane cylinders
and I don't know if it could (or should) be converted. I was told that a
single cylinder would last 7-9 hours. Since it lights and heats so
quickly, we turned it off to sleep and started it again in the morning.
It didn't take long to warm the bus up. Also, its small size stores
nicely in one of the bins.
