That's what they were designed for some 4-5 decades ago when gasoline was cheap. I recommend you do that in a pinch. You might find yourself lacking fuel to get to the next campsite or gas station should you lose track of usage. The newer catalytic propane heaters are much better at warming bog empty spaces like Vanagons. BenT www.vanagoncafe.com |
