With all this talk about winter camping I can't help but to rave about the
Thermal Systems Inc catalytic heater, the 6p12.  I had this mounted in the
rear cabinet.  It is rated at just under 6000btu's.  So far this has kept me
warm at the ski hill.  The coolest it has dipped to date is -14 degrees
Celsius(its Canada ya know) with the interior temperature between 16-18
degrees above zero.The heater never cycled off during the night, any colder
and who knows.  This heater is vented to the outside so condensation is not
an issue.  The auxiliary battery(optima) and stock propane tank will keep
things hummin along for the weekend without running out of either.(put an
auxiliary tank on just in case)  It is nice and quiet. I wanted the carver
for the cleaner install, but so far I can't complain about the 6p12. Works
like a hot damn.

Kevin,
Great heater, and as soon as I win the lottery, I'm gonna buy one!
