    No problem.

    The only issue is a propane heater I believe.

    I'm not sure there are any legal issues with a propane heater,....But it would be stupid to use one in a sleeper,......

    I carry a small propane grill (maybe 18" X 12") in my sidebox. The legs fold under the body and it uses the little ?1lb? propane tanks which I remove from the grill and store in the side box, far away from the bunk heater. (I love the real beef Oscar Meyer hot dogs!) 2 inspections and no one has said a word to me about it.
    Just make sure it is cold when you put it away!
