For the Mr. Buddy that (ventilation) is the trade-off. The Propex I have is mounted under the bench seat which I wished I hadn't and had placed it in the cabinet next to the water tank instead. But I installed it a long time ago (1998) before those ideas were made aware to me. The Catalytic heaters have to be in the living space to work and so take up valuable space that I'm not willing to give. The porta-potty is already taking too much space but is a necessary piece of equipment but it does double as a chair if needed.
