Hello: hate to spoil anyone's coziness, but'mongst
boaters small portable electric heaters, left
untended, seem to be a major cause of electrical fire.
 Generator exhaust and combustion heaters seem to
cause their share of carbon monoxide poisoning and
asphyxiation onboard yachts. Our Burn Unit seems to
get its fair share of deer season propane disasters.
Has anyone doped this out for vanners? Thanks. George.
