[pianoman9701]

do you have two 12 volts or two 6 volts? I run two 6 volts on my trailer.

2 12s

I have two 12v
I am wired up to charge batteries when have gen going or plugged in to truck, but I hate hearing that furnace run off and on, it's loud and it uses juice.  These don't use electricity and are  quiet

Last I checked Big buddys aren’t certified for inside use with anything but the small screw on tanks.  One leak on hose or hose fitting and doa.   Theory is screw on less chance of failure and maybe not enough gas to do lasting damage. 

Some info from big buddy website.

The Most Popular Portable Propane Heater in North America. This patented radiant 4,000-18,000 BTU Liquid Propane heater connects directly to two 1 lb. cylinders and is the perfect solution for heating enclosed spaces like cabins up to 450 sq. ft. An integrated fan increases the heating capacity of this unit, blending radiant and convection style heat to give you the best of both worlds. Two swivel regulators give you the ability to adapt usage from disposable cylinders to a remote gas supply with the purchase of a single hose and filter. To light the unit, simply push and rotate the knob. The built in Piezo sparking mechanism will take care of the rest. With the Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) and accidental tip-over safety shut-off, you can be sure that you will enjoy years of comfortable indoor safe heat.

Big Buddy and every other propane heater produces water vapor and if everything is operating properly, low levels of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide.  So, unvented, the best case scenario is a lot of condensation and breathing low levels of nastiness.  If not operating at 100% efficiency the nastiness level goes way up.  These heaters are not for closed spaces.

Vent the crap outside:

Definitely vent a buddy heater to be prudent. With that said...

I played around with a buddy heater or 2 at work the past few weeks. The co output was almost below the detection limit of my equipment (1ppm), we have WAY more issues running into co issues with our Honda 2k generators. Running 10' or so away from wall tents, we easily surpass safe levels very quickly if the wind blows wrong.

I use a buddy heater, I also have a co detector in the area. I sleep well, and warm.

It's easy to run one safely in an RV. Proper ventilation is all you need. Crack open a nearby window. I leave the lower storage door of my pickup camper open a bit where I run the hose to the outside bulk propane tank and a CO monitor within 24" of the heater & the monitor has never registered anything. The heater that CP posted won't work in an rv. Its minimum wall thickness is way thicker than any rv. If you find one that will work with the thin wall of an rv, you run the risk of that hot exhaust setting the wall insulation on fire if it gets too hot.
