Wow! I am NOT disappointed in this heater! After a lot of research, endless YouTube reviews, and a real challenge to actually find one I could order from Canada, I was a bit nervous that it might not measure up to my hopes. But it surpasses them! Easy to operate, completely silent, safe, and puts out lovely heat almost instantly. The heat really does feel like that from a cozy fireplace, unlike hot air blower types. I love that it doesn’t use much propane, no open flame, and no electricity requirement. I’m very excited to have this piece of kit in my skoolie!

How I installed an Olympian Wave 6 catalytic heater in a 20yr old Class C that I have been refurbishing.
Installation bits:
1x12x48 pine board (base for heater)
4 #8 2" wood screws (board mounting)
4 1/2" nylon stand offs (board mounting)
4 #8 1" wood screws (heater hangers)
4 conical hot water faucet washers (htr hngr)
3/8" brass T fitting (splice for propane input)
3/8" pipe thread to flare elbow (for T outlet)
6' 3/8" propane hose female flare both ends
3/8" male to female flare elbow (to heater)
1/2" Teflon thread tape for propane
1" diameter desk grommet for hose

Cut pine board to size 1x12x17". Use supplied template to mark Wave 6 mounting locations. Stain board black. Install 1" screws and conical washers to board. (The washers make heater removal and reinstall much smoother.) Remove vent cover in front of furnace opening. Drill holes for mounting board in front of furnace opening. Drill 1" hole for propane hose access to the heater. Verify propane tank valve is closed. Apply Teflon tape to all male threads. Remove a 1" section from the 3/8" propane supply line to the furnace. Attach one end of the hose to the T fitting. Attach the compression T fitting to the propane supply line. Route the hose through the drilled hole and slip on the grommet. Reinstall the furnace area vent. Install the mounting board. Install the flare elbow onto the heater's input. Hang the heater. Verify the heater control knob is in the "start/off" position. Attach the propane hose to the flare elbow. Open the propane tank valve. Verify that there are no propane leaks. Test heater operation. Verify that the furnace operates as well as always. Now when boondocking, we have warmth without 12v power consumption.

I used it with previous trailer for better sleeping because of the noise difference between trailer heater and the Wave 6. I used a Coleman Gemini power pack with a Camco regulator for propane. My current trailer has a heater that makes very little noise and does not interfere with my sleep so I no longer use the Wave 6.

Took some time before writing to evaluate product.
Works as expected. Darn good back up for power outages and extra warmth. -17°F outside of tiny home 65+°F in with addition of small amount of grid electric. Likely would have kept up by its self.
Condensation occurs so ventilation is essential for that as well as safe operation.
by:
Good unit. Uses less propane than main trailer heater. Be sure to leave a vent or window cracked open. Sometimes can smell like propane.
by:
Of course, it is a VERY well made product. BUT the service was AMAZING !!! JUST AMAZING. Thanks a MILLLLION for the time you spent responding to my questions, and for the fast shipping. Sadly, it was delivered here by UPS, and the brokering fees are just WAY too much. Now I am just waiting for the cold weather !

Huh, that is very odd. Looks like it supposedly shipped out about a week ago. Lets go ahead and get a reship set up for you as well as a missing package claim with UPS. I would love to hear your updated feedback of your experience once you receive the reshipped order.

A year later it’s still working great. We actually purchased the smaller Wave 3 as well for nights that don’t get as cold

You have great service but I can't say the same about UPS. I appreciate that you were able to replace the lost shipment.
by:
almost to much heat for my 16' rv but that is far better than not enough.
by:
I haven't installed the heater as of yet but I did hook it up to the tank and it did a good job heating up the space intended for.

Started with the Wave 3. Too small for my application. 18' inside length toy hauler. Ended up buying the larger Wave 6. Couldn't return the first one after hooking it up and trying it. Get a larger size than what Camco's application chart recommends.
Pros: No battery drain. Works OK.
Cons: Less heat than expected. No thermostat, so it's either "on" or "off". Set off the smoke detectors first 3-4 times of use.
I mounted the Wave 6 to a TV articulated mount so I could point the heat where I needed it and stow it out of the way when not in use. I made my own custom cover out of vinyl to fit around the mount.

  • Air Conditioner and Heater for Cargo Trailer
    Hey Harry! For an AC system on your 6 x 12 cargo trailer I recommend one of the following: -Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # ADV23SR -Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # ADV45SR The only real difference here is the one unit is low profile. This has a lower capacity and is set up for a ductless system which is what your trailer will be. Keep in mind, these aren't approved for a cargo trailer and...

  • Regulator Use for a Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater for Mid-Sized RVs
    Hey Elizabeth. Not sure how your RV is setup but you can only run one regulator per line/appliance. The Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater for Mid-Sized RVs item # CAM57341 does not have one but if you put two regulators on the same propane setup you barely get any propane going through. What kind of RV do you have and does it have a built in propane system?

  • Recommended Regulator and Hose for a Camco Olympian Wave 6 # CAM57341
    To connect your Camco Olympian Wave 6 # CAM57341 to your propane tank you will want the Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator # CAM57703. This comes with a 6 foot hose and is rated for 75,000 BTUs per hour.

  • Adapter to Use 1-lb Propane Tank for Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater
    What you need is the Camco Propane Adapter # CAM59213. This allows you to adapter a hose like part # CAM57703 that you'd use for the Wave 6 # CAM57341 to connect to a 1-lb (throwaway) bottle of propane. Attached is a quick demonstration video that you can check out.

  • Will The Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater Create Moisture When In Use
    Since the Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater for Mid-Sized RVs # CAM57341 uses LP gas as its fuel source it will create moisture like the LP Buddy Heaters. It is recommended to crack your windows near it to ensure a proper oxygen level. If oxygen levels drop in your camper the ODS sensor will shut the heater down to prevent the flame from extinguishing and producing carbon dioxide. If you don't want to deal with moisture issues or have to run a vent for the heater to avoid the...

  • What is Needed to Use the Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater
    The Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57341 requires low pressure LP which is designated as 11" w.c. (water column). What you will need to use is the Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator # CAM57703, which will connect from the fitting on the heater directly to a propane tank with a Type 1 male connector. It can't be double regulated so it will need to go directly to the tank.

  • Does Camco Wave 6 RV Heater Require Regulated Propane
    The Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater for Mid-Sized RVs # CAM57341 is not designed to run off of unregulated propane. It needs LP gas which is regulated to 11 inches of water column. So you would need a regulator like the part # CAM57703 that you also referenced.

  • 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...

  • Parts Needed To Install Olympic Wave 6 Heater Alongside RV Furnace On 2022 Micro Minnie RV Trailer
    To verify if you will be able to run both your propane furnaces on your 2022 Micro Minnie travel trailer you will need to identify the BTU usage for all your propane appliances. Then verify you have enough flow from your regulator to power your appliances you are going to run.
