For our website I have to spend most of the winter months in the outback - with gruesomely cold nights. Yet, I found the best heating to be the simplest. It’s a Coleman Dual-Fuel pressure lamp, running on unleaded or Shellite. It makes a cosy atmosphere, gives a great reading light and exudes lots of heat. It quickly warms my tent. It’s even sufficient for the cabin of my car where I have a bed installed.
BUT the flame consumes oxygen. You have to leave a tent flap or the window a little open.
Happy Camping! - Klaus and Rusty

Yep, do the same, Tassie winter camping in the van, light and warmth at the same time.
A little common sense with the ventilation, i.e. fumes out the top, fresh air in from underneath.
It even works in snow caves, but am very careful with ventilation there cause the space is much smaller.
cheers
