If you were going the permanent route with big outdoor tank would you go vented or ventless. I’ve used the ventless before at an old deer camp, which heated a room great, but wonder if safe for mobile homes. Looking for a secondary source other than electric for power outage or polar blast like this year’s snowstorm. What do you think? Basically looking to put one secondary propane heater in the main room of the mobile home. Open floor plan kitchen dining area and living room. About 250-300 square foot open living space.

A kerosene heater, but use K-1 that burns clean. I used one to supplement my two-story house in SC that had a damn heat pump. I ran that sucker at the base of the stairs at night and the heat pump rarely kicked on and the house felt warm. Heat pumps suck.
