Just got my new Mr Heater "Buddy" off Ebay, fired it up, wife says--No Way. I was thinking we could use it to heat up the van while stopped and while awake, like on cold evenings and cold mornings. Anybody use these in the Vanagons? It's written all over that they're intended for indoor use, including in tents, which is why I bought it in the first place. You barely touch it and the thing shuts off, and it has a low-oxygen sensor that shuts the flame off as well. Her point is that in close quarters (us, pit bull, 10 year old kid, usual camping mess in the V) a piece of cloth or something could fall in, start a fire, and toast us all for good. A penny for your thoughts. (And a lot more if you agree with MOI.) (Grrrr.) C'mon, guys! Geza |
