Gotta chime in here,


The CO problem that has been responisble for killing many people from
using an unvented catalytic heater in their vans or RV's.  How do you know
how much fresh air needs to enter?  It may be okay to use while you're
awake but sleeping with one of these things on is downright stupid.
