if your in a dry climate, the wave and similar heaters can be nice and also help get humidity up.
Now go to the oregon coast in the fall/winter where outside humidity is near 100%. Then the wave isn't so great. inside humidity goes up and you can end up with fogged windows almost all the time.
Eastern oregon, great, nice and dry.
that's the biggest issue I had using the wave heater where the normal humidity is high. Quite, YES, efficient YES.
oh, and a place we often use the Wave in the cooler weather is to put it out under the awning in the evening so DW stays warm when we are outside under the awning with no fire going.
Or when not camping it's on the back patio to keep me warm when I'm running the BBQ.
And if your gas furnace is raising the humidity in the trailer, you have a real problem. all the combustion gas is vented outside in a properly working furnace. It won't add ANY moisture to inside air so RH will go DOWN as the air heats up.
