That's good info, Frank.  Thanks.  So you sleep with it on, huh?  I'm skeptical about the safety of any unvented gas-fired heaters in closed spaces -- CO, you know -- but you're still kickin',  I guess.  The proof of the pudding .. .

Re: Platinum Cat Heater


       Charles, I have had one of these for over a year now and find it perfect.  Heats up the van just fine.  Uses a lot of propane though.  It will use up one bottle of propane over night so, keep extra bottles on hand.  Always use it with the pop top up so that there will be some fresh air to offset the combustion gases. 
Peace
