I'll weigh in on this buddy heater issue. As a heating tech for forty years plus, I would strongly caution against using an unvented heater in an enclosed space.  You are basically living in the exhaust pipe of that heater and no matter how completely that burner can be made to burn, the end result is heat plus combustion by products.  Your rig will be filled with the moisture that is one of those byproducts, and the interior will become toxic.  Bad idea even if you aren't living in it.

a lot of people use the big buddy heater, if this is interesting - i hope, i think this is what i shall do

but it never gets cold here in L.A. but if i go sking, this is a good deal, it can be taken out side as well

as attached to your main line inside with a hose that can be moved around where you need it. This seem

to be a good way to heat the area inside and out. use the areas for the other heater on board for storage.

This is my way to go, hope it helps someone else to think about other ways. I have not bought it yet, but

it seems a good design. mickey anaheim ca. 77 palm beach.
