Never mind about it not looking pretty, lpg is a very low lying gas with this in mind if not flued you would need the air to be constantly moving in back of van, i would get it flued think about it would you have a boiler in your house not flued but say its ok because when its being used im behind a closed door gas gets everywhere.

Theres a peugeot partner on ebay with a heater & flue fitted if you want to get an idea what it would look like.
Just type in peugeot partner brodex
the lad selling that van bought a tank of me and he was saying he sells heaters and flues and even fits them for you if needed i burned my last heater out but will ring him up when iam ready for new one and get it all fitted right

i would say its necessary for safety reasons alone.
in a caravan do they have a flu kit on the heater.

Sadly I can see someone dying trying to cut corners or following information that's incorrect (not aimed at you are bob)
I read on hear the other day someone trying to bypass the safety cut out.

The best person to ask about gas is a gas safe certified plumber IMO

If you find your closest caravan shop they'll point you in the right direction.
If you're anywhere near Grantham I can give you details of the guy here.

If you're going to run the heater with your van doors closed and you're going to sit in it whilst its on then get a flue. If you're going to use it as its intended and you mentioned, i.e in a semi open air scenario then you won't need a seperate flue.
