I recently bought one and think it works superbly. I've even left just the pilot light on at night to help take the edge off the cold, and then I crank it up in the morning to make it nice and toasty. A fan on it would make it that much better, but other than that I have no complaints. It sits nicely above the battery compartment with the co-pilot seat turned around. Right now I just use the cylinders which won't last all night on even the low setting, but I've attached another propane tank to the right side of the van and will be routing a line from it to the inside next to the battery compartment. I'm also installing another line that will stay outside to allow for external usage of the heater and/or another stove/lantern.
