[VAC] Re: replacment heater



Gerald,
  I'm not questioning the dangers of CO poisoning. What I AM questioning 
is the danger of same from a properly operated non-vented catalytic 
heater. My opinion is that there isn't much.

OTOH: I'm sure that there are folks who will make sure that their heater 
is right up to snuff, turn off all propane while travelling, check the 
campground outlet for polarity, etc. to be certain of safety. Then, turn 
right around and pull their A/S with an inadaquet tow vehicle and 
marginal brakes and crappy safety chains on the trailer. By far the 
greatest danger to trailerites is when towing, so that's what *I* choose 
to worry about the most.
