Maybe Trey has some input on gas heaters in a bus while camping? Wasn't there
something about a cost catching fire at TatP 1?

got bad news for ya denis it is a t4 and so far she has been nice to me.
except for the oil leak, gas leak and occasional missing. and besides whats
wrong with a desiel rabbit? hmmmmm?
who here would stand by there gas heater and say it will never explode,
catch on fire, and the bus will always be solid. i just want a garuntee.
hell i would much rather have a gas heater than heat exchangers but i am
scared of what i don't know i guess. so stand by it and i might look into
it.
