Any form of combustion produces carbon monoxide, so I wouldn't want to go to sleep with a gas heater on in the bus or awning. There's been a few cases of people being killed in tents over this summer with gas heaters (and bbq's still burning and brought inside) left on overnight.
The Propex is a room-sealed unit and all combustion gases are exhausted through the exhaust out under the van.
I couldn't agree with you more there sparky, cost shouldn't even factor into it, only a room sealed appliance should be used as a heating source in a confined space especially one that is used as sleeping accommodation, it is your life after all
I have lost count of the times I have had to ID (condemn) an appliance due to spillage fault / in correct installation / incorrect usage and then get moaned at by the customer (even though I have potentially saved their lives)
Every month my gas safe installer magazine is getting more and more cases of CO deaths in it
Propex is the only way to go in a camper ......
Ps I am a gas safe registered engineer
