!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I did a little websearching and found some tent heaters that could probably do fine in a truck camper as well. They're mostly propane-powered but there's a kerosene one on the list with a run time of 8 to 12 hours that's beefy enough to do a whole cabin. Some of the ones listed include oxygen sensors to automatically shut off if they detect poor ventilation, probably a good idea if you're leaving it run overnight.
I suspect that the best approach if you're trying to "improvise" and are worried about poor ventilation would be to not bother keeping the whole space heated overnight and just invest in a really good sleeping bag or some really good blankets. You won't care if the rest of the camper is cold while you're unconscious, only keeping yourself warm matters and with enough insulation your own body heat will suffice for that. I keep a rolled up set of wool blankets in my car just in case I end up skidding off the road in a snowstorm and need to spend a while waiting for help to come, for example. Wool blankets can be quite surprisingly good at keeping you toasty in a cold environment and can be used when you're just sitting around during a frosty day, too.
Problem with butane heaters is they produce moisture, I found it counter productive especially in the winter. I had actual icicles from my ceiling once. Those are nice for quickly warming up in the morning though.
