<\/p>\nI installed a catalytic heater in the RV this weekend:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an Olympian Wave 6<\/a>. The advantage of a catalytic heater is that it requires no electricity, so it\u2019s perfect for boondocking<\/a>. Also, it creates Carbon Dioxide as a bi-product, not Carbon Monoxide, so it\u2019s safe to have it in an enclosed space. The only caveat is that it does consume oxygen, so the windows have to left open a 1\/2 inch or so to provide enough ventilation that the oxygen in the interior in replenished.<\/p>\n The door assembly of the RV folds inward when the RV is folded down, so I had to mount the heater on rails so that it can be moved out of the way before folding up the RV.<\/p>\n Here it is in position when in use:<\/p>\n And here it is when it\u2019s been moved over:<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the view on the inside of the cabinet. I had to cut the copper propane line and install a "T" for the heater. I used my fancy new flaring tool and, yes, the first time I did forget to put the flare nut on the line before flaring the pipe end.
