Quiet heater that doesn’t drain batteries ?
Hi, I’m new to the RV world, just started making family trips in a new travel trailer (forest river wolf pup). But temperatures are dropping and the heater that came with the camper is horrendously...

Hi,
I use an Olympian Wave Heater (6000 BTU), plumbed into the onboard propane, in our 22' trailer.
When I first got it, I ran it on high, overnight, with the trailer sealed up as tight as I could get it (I wasn't in the trailer), with two (new) digital readout CO detectors inside. When I checked in the morning, both detectors read zero. None the less, I leave the bath vent open in the rear of the trailer and crack a window open in the front.
Takes awhile to warm up the trailer on it's own so we sometimes use the furnace for quick warm ups.
Dust is the enemy of these things though. I keep it covered (or stored in a box) when not in use.
Tried a Buddy Heater, but didn't like them (smell and headache).
Experimented with heat exchange on water heater, but couldn't get enough heat.
