Question about Wave 3:
I have a Wave 3 that I purchased new this fall to put in our Bobcat camper. We do not have a factory installed heater in our camper. From reading through posts about the Wave 3 it sounded like it did an adequate job heating up a camper of our size, therefore we decided it was a better option for us than the forced air furnace.
After using the heater several times this fall we haven't been very satisfied with the heat output. What I am trying to determine is if our Wave 3 is functioning normally and my expectations were to high or if the heater isn't putting out heat as it should. Currently we do not have a cold weather pack and we do keep windows/vents cracked for ventilation.
Last night i tested it here at our house. I turned the the Wave 3 on about 7:30 or 8 and kept it on high till about 9. I slept in the camper with the heater on low all night. When I got up this morning around 6:00 it was 37 degrees in the camper and 27 outside. I put the heater back on high and used a MSR pocket rocket stove to boil water for tea. After about an hour the temperature in the camper was 42 degrees and the outside temp was still 27.
Obviously the temperature in the camper was better than outside but it still wasn't exactly comfortable.
My question is does this sound about right to other people who are using a Wave 3 as there sole heat source in sub-freezing temperatures?
I realize that getting the cold weather pack will out some.
