Yeah, David's camper stayed pretty warm at Big Sur last year, and I don't remember the interior getting soaked in water, but doesn't running propane inside create a big water vapour problem? Does the clay pot somehow trap the water vapour produced by the propane stove flame? I know whenever we try to even toast bagels on our propane stove the interior of the camper steams up big time--and it gets worse the colder it is outside. I'm kinda worried about soaking the interior of our camper, since it doesn't need any more rust than it has already. And hey, everybody, happy winter solstice celebration, and may all your busses need nothing more than routine maintenance in 1996!
