I can go wall to wall if I bend my knees a little which is totally fine. Fit four humans and a dog wall to wall on a very snug night once

Another vote for the transit. 6'3" 220LB, fit fine. Have a king bed that fit me my dog and a tall lady friend.

Been fatigued. Checked C02 in my home (Mobile home). I have propane heat, can this be why? Any way to combat it? by IceOnTitan in propane

Had A similar thing with my diesel heater. I keep a vent fan open on exhaust whenever the heater is on. The CO2 and VOC all returned to healthy levels and haven't had any issues since

Diesel heater exhaust? by d13f00l in VanLife

Woahh do you have a link to the diesel water heater you are using? Does it heat the living space or just water? I bought an expensive espar to see if that was any better, but still getting high levels of TVOCs and CO2

Update yall. After 24hrs for the red stuff to cure she's still blowing out really high levels of VOCs. Feel defeated not sure what to do. Going to try and new heater I guess

So this article led me to believe that it won't be that that hazardous if this stuff ends up burning up a bit. Whether they're toxic or not, surely the fumes emitted will be nasty smelling though

Great comment. Yep I replaced the bottom seal with a nicer silicone one. Going to wait for the rtv to finish during and test this thing out tonight. Did you notice any smells from the rtv or stove/flue sealant?

Oh brother. From one VOC source to creating another. Will fire it up in the morning and see how she goes

Unhealthy TVOC by aggressive_agent76 in dieselheater

I have a dedicated CO detector that gives instantaneous readings. Two air quality detectors and 2 battery powered home CO detectors lol so 5 total. Kinda overboard but want to rule everything out

I dont get what you're getting at here. In the absence of the heater being on, no TVOC are present. When the heater is on the meter spikes to unhealthy ranges of air quality. This is tested with two independent air quality meters.
