Safe Mount for Little Buddy Heater

[Shapeshifter]

I have a first gen Tacoma with a camper shell and I heat it with a Little Buddy (well ventilated of course). I have bungeed and strapped the heater to support it but I was never comfortable sleeping with it turned on because it's a very small camper and I'm afraid I will kick it in my sleep. It has a built in tip-over switch but the surface of the head on it is still super hot and that doesnt mean it wont melt and burn things if tipped over, even if it switches off.

This idea literally came to me in a deream.... Its a fire extinguisher mount with a quick release nob. Some people use this bracket to mount their extinguishers on roll bars but this one can be mounted anywhere really. Its perfect for the little heater and it defintely isnt going to tip! It could be used for other 1lb propane accessories too.

Nice mounting solution and applicable to a few applications. For my part after having suffered severe consequences of sleeping in a truck capper in winter using catalytic heater through the night on two separate occasions in my youth using a catalytic heater in a space that I am sleeping in is not something that I would consider doing. Despite what my wife might tell you I do learn from my mistakes.

I like your mount idea that I could borrow for my similar Coleman Black Cat.
I use the heater to warm up the van before sleep and in the morning when I wake, but I turn it off when I'm asleep.
Seems like a fire risk leaving it unattended while sleeping; I wouldn't want to kick my duvet onto it or some other flammable material.
Additionally, excess moisture and unburned gas byproducts could build up during the extended sleep period.
Great little heaters though; now rebranded as the Martin CH3 flameless catalytic heater.
