Coleman black cat heaters?

Post by Dartmoor »

Hi, any experience of black cat heaters? Specifically are they safe, and will you die of CO poisoning if you use one in a van, even with good ventilation?

Thanks, Mark

not sure about the CO side of things, but have heard of them exploding while being transported assembled.
there was a recall on those heaters sold in 2007 for a serious design fault.
