Looks very similar to the Olympian heater I have in my van:

<http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/olympian-wave-3-catalytic-safety-heater/19332>

Same heat output, 3000 btu on "High". Mounted to the rear of the
passenger seat battery box. It's hardly a flamethrower but does provide
a nice bit of warmth.

For really cold mornings I haul in my Mr. Heater Buddy, which really
heats the joint. And for cool afternoons or if I want to sit outside
after dark but don't feel like building and maintaining a fire I have a
nice kerosene catalytic heater
