You can get a flu jab in Tescos if it helps.

The only problem not having an external flue is that the inside of your van will be running with condensation and it will steam up the cab, even with a bulkhead.

Sound like a lot of co2 knocking round you van

Can't you just put a flu in or mount it on you back
Doors bob just to be on the safe side

If he's happy to sit with it like that then all well and good to him. I'd say its dangerous though, or even maybe illegal.

I haven't got mine flued as when I'm using hot I keep the back door open.
Propane fumes are heavier than air so no risk there.
Co2-not sure tbh. I've got an OE bulkhead and my heater is near the back and I've never felt any adverse reactions at all.
Only problem ive had is that the boiler uses the flue for 'draw' on the flame so sometimes it shuts off. Not very often though.
That is just my experience.

Propane fumes are carbon monoxide. Already mentioned.
But you are right Spongy
