I have heard that the safety feature can be fooled by the reduced O2 encountered above 9000' or so. Anyone had experience with this? Yes, I do often camp above 9K' and, of course, that is just when a heater is most welcome. Currently I use the simple Coleman catalytic with the battery operated fan but only when I am up & awake and (as noted) the Westy is leaky plus easy top venting thru the roof vent. Geo |
