I've found those things dump humidity in a small space and make it quite uncomfortable. I love deisel heaters for that, it's a nice dry heat. I get that the have their places
Propane has the unfortunate side effect of adding a lot of humidity to the air, which causes the windows to quickly collect condensation, furthermore, it also releases a certain amount of carbon dioxide, which can be deadly in high enough doses.. Therefore its important to always have airflow when using such a product. The diesel heater on the other hand has an actual exhaust going outside, meaning that all the air it blows it just pure heated dry air.. I would just add some tubing to the outlet of the diesel heater, so i could direct warm air to come from both the front and the back of the bus, for even heating
Exchanging propane tanks at those cages is foolish, you're easily overpaying by 3x. Just take the tank to any propane dealer and they'll fill it for about $2.50 a gallon
You can buy interlocking rubber pads for the floor. Ironton anti-fatigue mats at Northern Tool. Put the heater about 4 to five inches from the floor and set a fan on top of it or behind it. That works great with those oil filled heaters if you find yourself using one in your house. Just put the oil filled heater on low with the temperature set on medium and set a box fan behind it. That's a really good combination. You can make some plywood frames that you cover with thick clear plastic on both sides. like restaurants put on tables. Just drape the plastic down both sides and staple it to the plywood. I buy it at Walmart in the fabric section. That's like having triple pane windows. I did that in a house that had windows 5 ft x 6 ft. I was using a cast iron wood burning heater and I could get the place very toasty. I put a box fan behind the heater and mounted a piece of tin on each side of the heater. That also allowed me to cook on the heater and not get my legs hot. I was property sitting and really miss living there but sometimes good things come to an end. I hope this helps you.
Build a false floor 1-2 inches above the existing floor and then you can blow hot air into the hollow between the two floors to give you radiant heat. It'll keep the floor warm for the dogs, and your instruments will stay in tune with your stands on the floor.
You will soon find out that using propane inside of an enclosure you will soon wake up dead if you're fortunate and if you're not you will wake up a vegetable.....you will be a lot cheaper off to get two diesel heaters versus one propane propane is too expensive diesel heaters are cheaper hotter and more reliable....... Although if we had your money we would be living in a school bus with absolutely zero insulation in sub-freezing temperatures LOL
😂 I have a CO detector, plenty of ventilation, and I'm only out there and hour or two at a time. I appreciate your concern. This setup is cheaper than renting a space or adding on to my home, plus we have a lot of fun out there.
I would put the diesel heater on the floor . They work way better when they heat from the bottom / floor up.

I would paint those windows with insulating-paint.

Chinese diesel heater for the win
I've had 3 buses insulate the windows, poly board..
Propane puts off to much moisture
