You have great service but I can't say the same about UPS. I appreciate that you were able to replace the lost shipment.

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.

Do you have a question about this RV Heater?

Correct Hose for the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater
Yes, we do! The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater item # CAM57351 has a 3/8" SAE flare fitting. The shortest hose we have that connects to a propane tank is the 6' long Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator item # CAM57703. We also have the 12" item # CAM57721.

Can You Control Temperature of Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater
You can control the settings of the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs # CAM57351 but not the specific temperature. As you can see by the accompanying photo, the heater has three settings: Low, Medium and High.

Is My Camco Wave 8 Heater Burning Inefficiently
I am not sure how your Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs, part # CAM57351, is adjusted. If you are burning propane at 0.18 lbs/hr, that rate is almost 50% less than the 1/3 lbs/hr consumption rate that Camco says you should expect. I do not think you have anything to worry about. I have included a video demo link below.

How to Determine the Best Wave Catalytic Safety Heater for a 29' Class C Motorhome
The correct Camco Olympian Wave Catalytic Safety Heater is going to depend on how much space you are trying to heat up. The Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57331 is good for RV's 12' long and approximately 130 sq. ft. The Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57341 is good for RV's 18' long and approximately 230 sq. ft.

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...

Where to Install Olympian RV Heater and How Long will 14 Gallon Tank Last
The mounting location for the Camco Olympian Heater part # CAM57351 really depends on where you'll want the heat the most. You could put it in a central location so that the whole RV gets heat overall or if you think you'll want it the most at night maybe the bedroom. With continuous use from a 14 gallon tank you'd see about 42 hours of heat roughly at a medium setting. Maybe a little longer.

Is the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Heater Safe to Be Installed on the Wall of an Enclosed Trailer
Yes, the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57351 would be safe to use mounted high on the wall of your enclosed trailer. The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57351 is a flameless, radiant heater that can be used as a portable heater or wall mounted.

Propane Fitting Size Of The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater
The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs # CAM57351 has a 3/8" SAE flare fitting so you would need a hose with a 3/8" Female Flare fitting like part # CAM57721. This hose is 12' in length and comes with a regulator so you can hook right up to the propane tank.

Troubleshooting A Camco Olympian Wave 8 Space Heater That Keeps Blowing Out
If your Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57351 keeps blowing out when people pass by it then it could be a faulty thermocouple, which can be replaced with a like size from your local hardware store. You could also have a gas pressure issue if the regulator for the gas line is clogged. If it doesn't want to stay on past low/medium then that would likely be caused by low gas pressure. A replacement hose/regulator like # CAM57721 would likely solve the issue.

Does Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater Need to be Vented
I reached out to my contact at Camco regarding the Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57351 and he said that the unit doesn't require a dedicated ventilation system, but they do recommend cracking windows open that are across from each other while the heater is running. This is just to create some cross ventilation and it's all that is needed to ensure safe operation. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.

Can the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs Be Used Portably
The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs part # CAM57351 can be mounted permanently or used portably. If using the heater portably then you will need a few extra things, the Camco Leg Stands part # CAM57701 and Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator part # CAM57703. The only thing left is a tank of your choice.

Longer than 12 Foot Long Feed Hose for Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater
12 feet is the longest hose we have with a regulator on it like the part # CAM57721 that you mentioned but you could use a second hose with this to get a longer overall hose. For example you could connect the # 100040-144-MBS to the # CAM57721 and you'd have a 24 foot long setup.

Do I Need a Separate Low Pressure Regulator for a Camco Olympian Wave Heater
Yes, you will need to use a low pressure regulator with the Camco Olympian Wave 8 part # CAM57351 but that is what the Camco Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59323 is. Therefore, if you have the heater tied in after the above regulator then you won't have any issues. In order to attach the Camco Olympian Wave 8 to the manifold on your trailer you are most likely going to need the MB Sturgis High Pressure Propane Hose part # 100383-36-MBS for 3' long, part # 100040-72-MBS...
