I've looked at and read about the Mr. Heater and the Heat Buddy products.  Like all catalytic heaters, they are not supposed to be used in a closed space, and I would surely not use them in the van while sleeping.  Or is there some safety feature that I've not learned about?  Seems to me to be like running an open flame gas heater in a home.  Or am I too ignorant about these products?
I know that others do use them in campers, and they are sold by RV shops.
