Hi,
That would put efficiency below 60%. I think that is unlikely. One could always add a 12 volt fan to the mix and that would almost certainly extract more heat.
The nice parts are that it does have a thermostat and is vented.tpi wrote:
It probably contributes about the same amount of heat as a 1500 watt electric unit. Possibly slightly more. I find this a perfectly usable amount of heat in my RV for some conditions. Anyway I think this gives a comparison we can relate to.

I lived too long at 6,800 ft altitude. Too many aching fingers and toes. Too many snow blower handle, blisters. I learned to hate snow shovels, having to wash 30 lbs of clothing a week versus two lbs down here. The world of black & white. Intense poconip fog, visibility five feet, temperature minus ten F.
It got so cold, that I unplugged the refrigerator freezer. Two feet from the back door for refrigeration in boxes, right against the back door for freezing.
Start the car, let it warm up, hit the defroster in full-out, and it would make a saucer size clear spot in the windshield. Could not haul groceries in the bed. Lettuce, celery would mush, canned foods and bottles would burst. The nearest serious shopping was a three hour trip each way.
Black ice, black mood. Having to park the vehicles in the yard or risk getting smacked by the Michigan snow plow.
My main worry now, is the ice cream and did I remember to get sun block.
Dress code. Red Black Blue Green or Yellow shorts (white shows Mango juice too much). Color coded tee or polo shorts. Socks? I bought some maybe a dozen years ago.
Propane? Yeah I bought a hundred pound cylinder's worth around April of 2013.
Last electric bill was 243 pesos for 2 months. $14.82
(Because of the fans) next one should be $150 pesos $9.15 for TWO months.
Tonight, fruit salad Mangoes, Pineapple, papaya, cantaloupe, watermelon, and llaca. Topped with fresh unsweetened Mexican cream and brightened with wild desert honey.
I've paid my dues. Arthritis does not hurt from too much heat. Let the Slope Dopes frolic in frigid bliss. Our ocean beach water temp was 78 degrees here, and Jesรบs told me Las Peรฑas water was 83F last Friday. Reminds me, I've got some lobsters and a huge yellowtail filet in the freezer.
Any "heater" I come across will be in print. An obsolete crime novel about the mob.

As someone that camps at elevations that make portable heaters not a option, this is the best solution to being able to boondock in colder temperatures and not have all of the solar and battery to make sure you don't freeze.
The noise of the furnace fan rarely wakes me up but it is usually a comforting thing knowing the furnace is doing it's job and I drift back off to sleep happy. When it does bother me is when we are trying to watch TV and have to turn it up and down as the furnace comes on and off.
This would let us warm up the trailer with the furnace and then let the little heater keep it that way quietly.

True Catalytic heaters (like the Wave) do not produce very much CO.. why does this keep coming up?
The risk in using them is Oxygen deprivation.
The OP must be talking about Infrared radiant heaters, like the Mr Heater Buddy.
