I have had one of these for so long I don't remember when I got it. It works very well. 5,000 btu's of on demand heat. I do not believe the screen is any type of catalyst but the top of it will glow red. The only down side is interior condensation and the possible fire hazard. It does deflect the heat forward enough so it does not overheat the stove cover. If you want to use it long term definitely consider a CO detector. Two would really warm the van nicely.

When I get it, I'll let you know if it works well and is worth having/ using, and if it seems to be safe for continued use.
