What do folks have for boondocking ceramic and catalytic propane heater?

We have a Mr. Buddy propane. Only used outside but some of these can be used inside coach

Used to use a Coleman catalytic heater years ago when we had a pop-up. The cloth walls of the PUP had enough holes that I didn't have to worry much about oxygen depletion or getting the water vapor from the heater out. That one being vented likely takes care of those issues though.

These days, solar on the roof and the furnace does the trick most of the time. If it's too cloudy to recharge, a few hours of generator time during the day takes care of it.

I own a Mr. Heater, the Buddy model. It is listed in the company specs as indoor safe with a tip over switch and low oxygen sensor. I got the unit for use in my ice fishing shanty, and it works great. I wouldn't be afraid to use it for heat in our house if we lost power during the winter. I also wouldn't be afraid to use it in the MH as long as couple of windows are cracked for ventilation.
