All good recomendations. I just bought a North face Bastion 4 and it is quite a tent........spendy but seems well made. What are people using for in the tent heat, besides a hot chick..............not that that would be a great idea!!

I still say this is the best kind of heater
I've been sleeping on this pad in the back of FJ60 for 6 months. It's not cheap but it's the most comfy thing I've slept on camping, it folds up, and has a high R factor:

Down to underwear and a warm water bottle wrapped in a towel against your feet in the sleeping bag.

yup. +1 on sleeping bag liners. i was even going to suggest the thin moisture wicking ones (or the more expensive silk liners) that plus the right bag and sleep pad and you should be set. no need for a 4 season tent unless its winter camping.
Mr. Heater is rated for vented indoor/tent spaces. I have one I use in my FJ and RTT in the winter:

I just used the same Buddy heater this weekend in the Mojave Desert - between 30 and 40 deg each night - went to look at the stars so entered the tent very cold at night - also used it near the scope during the night. What a great heater! I used about 3 lbs of propane each night - so it was very useful to have the hose to use a large propane tank. Woke up once and turned it up to high - then just fell asleep again. Brought along a co2 alarm just for security.
