I watched some YouTube videos where they monitored the oxygen/gas levels while running them inside and they were all good and I think they market them in the us as being safe to use inside, but I wouldn’t sleep anywhere with one of those running. It’s not worth it. Turn it on at bedtime to warm everything up and back on in the morning before you get out of your sleeping bag.
There was a few guys up here who died in their boat a few years ago from running propane heaters while they were sleeping. I’m not sure on what brand they were using, but three dead guys ina boat.
If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.
Mr. Heater has a new heater, called the Flex, even has a little stove to heat up lunch on the top. It's a good looking rig, but a little pricey, at about $225.00.

A few years ago I contacted Mr Heater to ask about why this is classed as indoor use in 49 states but not Cal or Canada, they told me it is these places guidelines not based on their product. I asked how many claims against them for sickness or deaths , and there was none and could not find any online either. They said homes are not airtight so there is always enough air flow to be safe, but they also said there is no harm in having a CO2 sensor for piece of mind. Boats and RV's all have propane heaters and appliances and not a problem, crack window open slightly if worried

I have a Iwom body suit. The best.
Setup a Big Buddy in my camper for cold weather. To make sure things were safe borrowed calibrated air monitor used for confined space entry to confirm safety. Canadian tire Co monitor did not go off at all but Industrial monitor would alarm after short duration. Around 20 minutes if I remember correctly. Window had to be opened a couple of inches continuously to prevent alarm. 1" of opening still created alarm but took longer. Vent over cook stove was open all the time also. Determined was letting in more cold air than air it was warming for long duration. They do work well but use for short time frame and with caution cause Co levels will rise. Just my 2 cents.
When in doubt, just pin it.
