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.
