Mr Heater Buddy vs Olympian Wave 6
I'm considering buying an Olympian Wave 6 to replace my Mr Heater Buddy to use in my 05' Pleasure Way Excel. The Buddy heater puts out a lot of moisture and the windows are dripping wet in the morning...

There probably is not any 'change' between the Olympic and Mr Buddy heaters as far as amount of moisture that comes out of the gas while it is warming the RV. However the built in tank probably has less moisture in it than the portable tanks you have been buying. . .
Also I really would never recommend a Mr Buddy heater. Something about a high pressure propane tank right next to a open flame bothers me. If the tank where ever to get to warm, then it's pressure relief valve can open, venting propane near the flame of the pad.
It seems like you need to leave the window open a bit further, and open the roof vent a bit more as well.
I installed a gas tee in my RV under the stove/oven, near a wall, so that I will not kick it while cooking. It has a shut off too, and quick disconnect. So my Olympic 6000 BTU heater spends most of it's time in a closet, covered to protect the pad from getting dirty. A dirty pad needs to be replaced, so I have heard. Mine is a 1994 model, and still has not needed a replacement pad.
Also many do not heat the pad long enough on high heat output, and many have reported that the pad is not glowing red, indicating that the pad is not fully lit, and hot enough to boil off any moisture in the gas tank.
