tents for camping with heaters image
Caerbanog
There are many options like catalytic, kerosene, some sort of diesel heater, alcohol, generators, etc. Please help me find the cheapest way. I'm actually heating my small truck bed camper space. Thanks for reading.

I prefer the ultralight backpacking and camping style, so I apologize if my answer doesn't seem to include those methods that you mentioned, but in all honesty those do pose some very serious dangers such as carbon monoxide poisoning, if you're not careful. My bf worked at sport chalet (in the climbing/camping department) for a few years, so he has read a lot into those products and disapproves of them.
In all honesty, I find the most economical way to be just heating yourself, or using what heat sources you already have. However, quite often, the type of tent makes a huge difference on the comfort. You may own or read about the "luxury" tents. The tents that have a center divider to create two rooms, or a grand entryway. Those are, quite frankly, absolutely impractical. Whenever my bf and I go camping, we use a 2-person, 4-season tent. Last weekend we were in near-freezing temperatures, with very heavy wind and moderate rain, and the tent was still very comfortable. True, it took about 5 minutes to start warming up, but we cooked our dinner outside, then brought it in with us (careful not to spill! You obviously want to take precautions against attracting animals, so make sure to return all food-scented items outside, and wash them or put them somewhere safe), and the heat from our chili-macaroni-and-cheese was more than enough to warm ourselves.
As for what I mean by saying that it is cheapest to heat yourself, I mean to say that by just adding on the layers, you can be comfortable. Down jackets and long underwear are the best way to go for comfort in the cold. Or by just consuming warm substances, like the classic cup of hot cocoa.

Do kerosene heaters produce low or high levels of carbon monoxide?
Austin
If you're running a kerosene heater in a trailer and you have the window cracked a half an inch and you begin to get a bad headache and feel kinda spacey, is that carbon monoxide poisoning even though the window is cracked to allow ventilation?
Answer
That's not good. I was camping one time and a lady had a kerosene heater in a tent about 20 yards from me. She died that night. They vent the exaust right into your breathing air. Not a good idea. Who wants a window open while they are trying to heat their home anyway. Better safe then sorry right?
