Hey Eric
Let me know if you come up with that gasoline heater, I know I would be interested, and I am sure others would also.

Great to get your post.
I look forward to your updates.
I’m anticipating a battery change over in the future and hope to learn from folks. But, that change over will be some time in the future as my batteries are fairly new and doing the job I need for now.
I’m loving my Propex heater, but if I had to replace it I’d look into a furnace like you are describing, only the gas version so I could use it off my main fuel tank.
A friend has a diesel van so is making great use of one of these heaters. He was going to do it in the place of the rear one but in the end simply added it to the side.
Keep us posted and I hope if someone has real background or experience they will share with you.
