Topic: Wave 3 heater installation Posted: 24 Apr 2017 at 8:56am |
I installed a propane quick disconnect for use with a Wave 3 catalytic heater. We boondock and want to conserve battery power as much as possible.
I installed a tee between the stove and the propane line. And ran a 6' propane line with quick disconnect to under the refrigerator. Here's the Wave 3 catalytic heater (still in bag) connected to the propane line. Wave 3 catalytic heater: http://www.camco.net/product/wave-3-catalytic-safety-heater-10319/ |

Do you think the buddy heater is as efficient as this? Buddy heaters I already have...
I didn't realize the furnace used so much power with the fan. When I bought my camper I figured propane heat should be good for days and days. I did just get the two 6v batteries so that should help. Thanks for posting about the heater, I am going to look into them. |

I built my own heater
it runs on propane and uses 1amp of power. It's hot water heat using the HWT as a boiler, it is very quiet and works great.

Marwayne, I like your response! Can you further elaborate on how you did the heater? We boondock a lot and this sounds like a great idea. Thanks

There's been a bunch of posts on other forums comparing Buddy heaters and the Wave 3 heater. |
