One would be a fool to use such devices without a CO detector. I grew up in England in the 50’s. Most houses had multiple open flame gas heaters. No CO detectors then either

Interesting that someone died of CO poisoning from an LP refrigerator

Yes, ventilation is required with a Wave catalytic heater. We do have the OE forced air furnace in our camper. It does heat the interior quickly in the AM. I've been looking for an electricity free supplemental system.

Yes. I’d say my experiment leads me to believe a Wave 3 could probably keep our large pop up truck camper above freezing down to maybe 10 degrees.

Paid $3500 cash for our 1995 Northstar TS1000 11 years ago. Still going strong.

I’ve been pretty happy with the 1500w electric heater. 50 degrees inside when 15 outside seems roughly adequate What’s the conversion formula btu to watts?

The one I saw in Australia wasn’t that open. I think it had a screen but you’re right it wasn’t remotely contrllable.

Anyone use one in a pop up truck camper in cold weather, say around 10 degrees? Was it adequate?

Your experience seems typical. I always plan to have bedding adequate so as not to require heat at night. I bought a garage thermostat which goes down to 35 degrees so the heater will kick on to stop the pipes from freezing if necessary. RV forced air furnaces are too loud to sleep with in my...

I installed the Camco because I wanted heat not dependent upon electricity. I think a Camco 6 or 8 might function that way in a pop up camper. The 3 is too small, given my experience. The Dickinson, since it vents outside and gets combustion air from outside is a better option in that sense...

There are forward facing pop up vents designed to pressurize the camper and keep out dust. Australians use them all the time

You may need to remove the fridge and turn it upside down overnight.

I t-d into the water line just after the tank with a valve which can shut off tank side and then installed a female quick connect air fitting. I use my 12 volt tire compressor, hook it to the quick connect and blow all the lines out in about 5 minutes. You can buy that valve fitting at RV...

My guess is that not enough twist was put back into the torsion bar when it was reattached. Note that he states that when unloaded the bars would tilt outward.

Anyone have any comparative data on electrical consumption of the Chinese diesel heaters compared to typical RV forced air propane furnaces?

More instructions for sliding a 90 piece of bent steel behind the lifting brackets on the back side without having to repair the wood (if it's still in good condition) if you block that side up and release the torsion bar pressure, you can remove those bolts and support it on the outside. You...

Here are some roof repair instructions from the pop up camper Facebook page by Rory Willett of Northstar who has a lot of experience in fixing pop up roofs: To repair the rear backboard, leaving the roof mounted to the camper, the first thing to do is raise the roof and remove the tension of the...

I'm curious about that shower enclosure also.

Looking at some of the reviews here the Dickinson may not be that powerful either. https://www.amazon.com/Dickinson-Newport-Propane-Direct-Heater/dp/B00TZ6U1LI
