I use a Coleman Platinum Catalytic heater, that kind with a built in fan.  I
have a CO detector in the van as well, and I leave the windows slightly open
for ventilation.  Oh, I have two matching sleeping bags and I join them
together to make one big bag.  Then my significant other and I can make some
more heat.  Leave the top down since nearby campers can complain about the
noise.

Minnesota tested and approved!
