Anybody have any experience with these?? I talked w/ a local RV shop and the guy raved about them (naturally, he wants to sell me one) and even showed me his install in his 5th wheel. Apparently the plus side is zero battery draw and they are not affected at altitude. Thoughts... good, bad or otherwise?? I promise, you won't hurt my feelings

I can take some. But I'm not handy like you guys are - I paid someone to do it for me.

Thought I had read about some pilot sensitivity issues at altitude but moreover I was referencing issues with other catalytic type heaters at altitude.
Jane, If I were to go this route I was thinking of mounting one below my old ice box too as it seems to fit perfectly dimension wise and would be easy to feed off of the propane lines previously plumbed for the fridge option. If you had some pics I would be interested too, especially how the gas line is run.

I have the wave catalitic heater and a stock forced air heater and there is advantages to both and thats why I use them both.
At first I kick on the stock heater it works much faster and very well not sure above 7000 thou.
I then will use the wave for the rest of the time because it is silent and uses no electric unlike the stock heater which has a fan and goes on and off.
It does take a little longer to heat the camper with the wave by itself but not a problem.
My set up is tied into the main propane line with a T and mounted close to the floor.
I think the main reason it was installed with the stock was the past owner was with out 12 volt.I have it and dig it.
any who you can't go wrong, imo.good luck and stay warm.
