I would never use a gas/propane type heater in a tent or rig.
To many deaths, even with ventilation.

Long long ago (back in the early 80s man) the X and I and our oldest were in our first tent trailer camping in the snow.
We had the windows cracked and lots of air coming in.

We still woke up with the taste of propane in our mouths, and slightly dizzy.
It was one of the old Coleman ones with the heat array on top.

Later I got a much nicer one with the shut off if it tips over, but it was only used first thing in the morning when we got up or you had to sit on the portacrapper in the trailer.
It was never left running during the night.

As mentioned, get a good sleeping bag made for cold temps.
