Camco’s Olympian Wave LP Gas Heater is an interesting heat source option for RV campers. It doesn’t require electricity, so it’s great for boondockers. It kicks out enough heat to warm a 130-square foot area, which is perfect for the average RV. It’s also available at a great price, some 45% off the suggested retail.
These heaters are also available in 6000 BTU and 8000 BTU variants.
These Olympian Wave heaters operate on low pressure propane gas. They can be wall mounted or used as a portable unit.
A key upside of Olympian Wave heaters is that (unlike our noisy propane heat furnace) they are quiet. Wave heaters operate silently without any fan or blower noise.
A source of LP gas is all that’s required. There’s no electrical drain or battery connection. This makes wave heaters an ideal solution for boondocking and dry camping
This 3000 BTU Camco Olympian Wave unit is actually adjustable from 1600 to 3000 BTU per hour. This allows the heater to be used as a primary or secondary heating source.
What about safety? The Olympian Wave Heater is equipped with a safety shut-off valve. The valve helps prevent an accidental non-ignition fuel discharge which could lead to a fire.
These heaters also produce no harmful amounts of carbon dioxide.
These units are equipped with a Piezo sparking starter that’s rated for 20,000 starts.
Build quality is solid, with the company offering a reassuring 3-year warranty on each unit.
