• Using More than One Camco Olympian Wave 6 Heater in RV that is 27 Feet Long
  The Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater for Mid-Sized RVs # CAM57341 is ideal for campers that are up to 18 feet in length so for yours that is 27 feet long I'd agree that two or more of these in different spots of the camper would give you the best overall heating. A single larger one would heat the entire trailer but due to length it would not be ideal as it would heat one room disproportionately.

• Thermostatically Controlled RV Heater
  The Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety Heater for Small RVs part # CAM57331 does not come with a thermostat. I am not really sure how that would work on a propane heater as such but we do have an electric heater with a built-in thermostat, the Arcon Compact Ceramic Heater with Tip-Over Safety Switch part # AR64409. However, this would not produce nearly as much heat as the Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety Heater for Small RVs. Please note the Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety...

• Recommended Long Hose with Regulator to Use for Camco Olympian Wave 6 Heater
  I recommend using the Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator w/ 12' Long Hose # CAM57721 for your Camco Olympian Wave 6 # CAM57341. This comes with 12' of hose which is a bit shorter than what you're wanting, but the flip side of that is you have to be careful with how long the hose is because that can start to drop the pressure which means your heater wouldn't work because there wouldn't be enough pressure. I don't recommend trying to extend the hose more than the 12' that comes with the...
