Camco Olympian Wave-3 Catalytic Heater

Unlike traditional propane heaters that use an open flame, the Wave-3 uses a catalytic process to create heat through a chemical reaction on a platinum-infused pad. This method is 99.98% efficient and produces no open flame, making it safer and completely silent.

While the Wave-3 is designed for safety, it is essential to follow all manufacturer guidelines regarding ventilation. Because it consumes oxygen, you must ensure your RV has proper airflow, such as a cracked window or roof vent, to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.

No, this heater is completely independent of electricity. It uses a self-generating piezo starter for ignition and runs entirely on propane, making it an excellent choice for boondocking or off-grid camping.

The Wave-3 is designed to heat spaces up to 100 square feet. It is best used as a supplemental heat source for smaller areas or specific rooms within your RV rather than as a primary furnace for a large vehicle.

The unit features a 3/8-inch SAE flare gas connection. You will need to ensure your RV's propane system is compatible or have the appropriate adapter to connect it to your low-pressure propane supply.

No, the Wave-3 operates silently without a fan or blower. It relies on radiant heat, which warms objects and surfaces in the room directly rather than blowing hot air around.
