propane consumption
How much propane does the wave 6 catalytic heater use compared to the rv furnace?I am trying to figure up the savings to see if it is worth the investment.

If you're looking for propane savings, you'll probably be very disappointed. A catalytic heater MUST have outside ventilation (open windows) in the living space to prevent health problems; and adds moisture to the unit, which can cause condensation problems. The furnaces in a RV are about 60% efficient, but don't need outside ventilation into the space, and are designed to heat the tanks if enclosed.
The only benefit of a catalytic heater I can see would be if you are dry camping and battery consumption is a problem (their quietness would be a nice advantage also).
