I've tried both a catalytic heater and a Propex heater in a Westy. Both were 6000 btu and both did a fair job at 20-30 degrees. They were more effective if the poptop was not up. I don't think a 2800 btu heater would be adequate, based on what I've seen.

The catalytic heater I've used was a vented model from Thermal Systems.

Unvented heaters can sometimes cause condensation problems, but judicious

window-opening might circumvent this.
