Hi WTW Crew-

 

Just finished installing a Olympian Wave 6 catalytic heater in my Grandby. I was never happy with the Atwood heater due to batter drain, propane consumption and noise. I've used the Wave 6 in my Westfalia for many years and was happy with the results using the stock legs, but wanted to mount the heater using a TV swing out mount (off Amazon for about $20). Also, during the summer I can easily remove the heater and put back the 20" flat screen TV. The photos show a bottle, but i have installed a T off the stove to make things a little cleaner.

 

Went out last weekend with outside air at 36f and the camper stayed at 65f on low all night. The main advantage of the swing out articulating mount is that I can direct the radiant heat to the best location depending on needs. I did not see much in the way of condensation as I left one turnbuckle open an cracked the roof vent a bit.  

 

Anyway, hope this helps with anyone looking for a safe way to keep warm. More pictures to come as I dial in the installation.
