Nice that they cut out if the oxygen level gets too low......it's nice to wake up...even with a CO headache!
Just something for you to check out. the cheaper one is $89.99

Just a thought: Don't all "flame based" heaters cut out if the oxygen levels get too low? (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/rotfl3.gif)
I have a Heater Buddy in my shop hooked up to a 25 lb. tank outside, it really warms
up the place and has a tip over switch built in. For the bus I am going to use the 1 pound bottles but wait till
Pep Boys have them on sale again ($59.95) and use a CO2 unit for saftey sake.
I have a friend in Pittsburgh area and he uses the little one in his bug says it works great he has no heater boxes on the car just j tubes has it on the floor up front. he doesn`t haul any others in it I guess. vwlogo
Never thought of doing that....my heat is great though....
..........wonder how often your friend goes through propane cylinders.
I`m not sure I need to call him anyway so I`ll ask him. He says it works good.
Jack and I have these (http://tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:UXVLsypQFkkn3M:http://libarynth.org/_media/survivalcat.jpg)camping heaters. They last about 6 hours on a small cylinder. You could strap it to a board and it would be fine on the passenger floor
I got one like that for our last camping trip, works good.
Hey you know, if you want a real good bus heater you could just light the damn thing on fire :icon_cheers: LAUGH@ LAUGH@ :icon_cheesygrin: :icon_geek: :-* :icon_tongue: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumleft: ;D :evil: :icon_twisted: :icon_jokercolor: :icon_clown: :icon_sunny: $61$ P#3 777 BO** !5! (love
Spoke to my friend and he has a propane tank from a grill mounted in the spare tire well(its a 71 or 72 super) and has it plumbed to the heater!!!! s#r
