I have the Olympian 3000-unvented- w/ a quick disconnect & valve plumbed from my copper propane line. I am still alive after 5-6 years of using it, but I always open the sliding door window & crack the skylight an inch or two. Other than it doesn't heat the westy up quickly or keep you really warm in sub 30 degree F. temps unless I don't pop the top, it works ok. We really only use it when not in bed, so I have never slept overnite w/ it on. That said, the waterline does freeze w/o it on when the temp drops below 22, so I might run it on low next time I am camping in sub freezing temps. YMMV, Mr. BZ-not Mr. Buddy
