WAVE 6 catalytic heater review
I'm on a February cross country trip and needed a quiet way to heat my 20' Toy Hauler. I wrote a short article with photos on my web site. You can read it here: http://rvbprecision.com/rv-pro...

technically correct
but
100,000 BTU per HOUR will produce 0.98 gal, propane contains 94,000 btu per gallon
a 3000 btu wave heater will need 32 hrs to produce that 'gallon' of water by burning a gallon of propane
a 5000 BTU heater will take 20 hours at full output to produce 0.98 gal of moisture

naturally if you sleep with no heat, wake up cold, and light up a heater like a wave or buddy, the bit of moisture produced is going to condense on every cold surface in the camper, especially the windows
but if you keep a warm camper and the ventilation is sufficient, you are going to see very little as it will be exhausted with the warm air thru the ceiling vent
