I just installed a Camco Olympian Wave 8 heater in my fifth wheel.
Installed it vertically, teed into 3/8" gas line below fridge with a shut-off.
Fridge is on AC power, no other gas appliances on. With the Wave 8 on high, I am disappointed with the heat output. There is no red glow from the device like the box depicts. It does throw heat (quite warm 6" in front).
Anyone have any experience with these units?
Outside air temp is 14 C, heater has been on in the trailer (32 ft) for 30 minutes and temp went from 19.5 C to 21.5 C.
Curious, do you have enough 4 season insulation in your rig, in Alberta, Canada that this unit is not overwhelmed by heat losses? Size of the TT or 5th wheel you are trying to heat up?
