I've believed that my vans "leaked" enough outside air that asphyxiation wasn't going to happen. This is probably wrong, at least in my tin top camper. Just now, it being around freezing in the pre-dawn desert SW, I brewed coffee and left both westie stove burners on high for some heat as I watched the sunrise .... I saw my burner's flame diminish and get thready. Thought I was out of propane... But I discovered that a kitchen match, the "strike and light anywhere" kind, that would not light! No O2 or too much co2....whatever, pretty scary. I ran back the slider and let some air in, things burn normal again. > > So I believe the warning against using the cook top for cabin heat.,..now.
