It is not a question of removing a Wave heater. That would be an individual choice for any of us. I just do not believe if I burn 5 gallons of propane, it will produce 5 gallons of water. That is a lot of water, and should be running down the walls.
covered wagon, what helps me to remember to open or crack a vent/ window is that I never close them unless I have a specific reason. For example I might have a draft where I am sitting. I may close a window and open another. I will also add, without fresh air, I get headaches. I have also installed two CO2 detectors.
Maybe I am just a light sleeper, but when the furnace kicks on, it sounds like a jet taking off and wakes me up. I even installed a new ($100) fan motor that helped a little.
I guess there is a balance point in life where we make choices based on theory that we might do differently had we the experience. I had pretty much the same equipped TC as the OP. I had to do something about the warming of the TC. Having experienced the Wave heaters before in other TCs, it was easy for my to accept the negative theory as just that, theory. I believe the nay Sayers might be surprised as to how many RVs have the Wave heaters and do not have the negatives expressed in the theories.
I am not aware of any deaths directly related to the Wave heaters. I have read posts only a couple of times in 10 years of any deaths directly related to the Wave heaters. With a little research, there has always been something else that contributed or caused the death. Usually, if it was a heater involved, it looked similar to the Wave but in fact worked in a different way.
I think maybe we are getting to far of topic. My apologies to Blanco1.
