Cunegonde came with an Olympus Catalytic Propane Heater.

This is an IF heater - functions like heatlamp. It requires an
additional fan to permit convection, as well as radiant heat. The PO
had also left us a 12V clip-n fan for this purpose.

The LP extension hose had all ready been led off a "T" from the stove
LP line. I had to add a safety valve so the heater could be
disconnected with the main LP flowing (!). The hose leads out of the
undersink cabinet. I'm adapting a bracket for the heater to mount on
the front table support. The heater and hose fit in cabinet for
storage.

The Olympus kept 2 people warm at medium setting on windy 40 degree
nights with the poptup up. I assume the canvas is leaky enough to
prevent any carbon monoxide concerns. But a CO alarm will be installed
just the same.
