Heater for rv

[n_mathews13]

I'm looking for a propane heater for rv. One that doesn't use electricity. Any ideas?

Big buddy heater is what we use in our trailers during elk season. Run a hose to the outside to a tank. Works great.

Another vote for a big buddy heater. I use one in my camper with a hose to a bulk tank outside & it works awesome. Keeps my early 1990s pick up camper warm & comfortable down to single digits

I used a big buddy a few times and it would set my CO detector off. I switched to a Wave heater and use less gas and never have CO issues. Not bright at night either

I wouldn't use one that wasn't vented.

I have a 31' trailer. Kids sleep at one end, wife and I at the other. I've wondered about doing 2 waves, one at each end on low
Dad have a procom and it does well, but like the wave

Last I checked Big buddys aren’t certified for inside use with anything but the small screw on tanks.  One leak on hose or hose fitting and doa.   Theory is screw on less chance of failure and maybe not enough gas to do lasting damage.

Interesting inquiry. I have a pop-up and the heater drains the battery more than the generator can charge it up. The RV guy told me I needed a bigger inverter (maybe converter) to recharge the batteries better. It sounds like the Wave would be a better and more cost-efficient solution.

Are you charging with your trailer wire plugged into the generator? When we do long dry camps I take a battery charger and hook directly to the batteries and charge that way. Your basically getting a trickle charge through the inverter.

[pianoman9701]

Yes, that's how I charge. With two batteries, do I just hook up to one or up to the pos on one and the neg on the other?

[kirkl]

do you have two 12 volts or two 6 volts? I run two 6 volts on my trailer.

if they are both 12 volt batteries, just connect to one battery.
If they are both 6 volt, either use a 6 volt charger and connect to one battery OR a 12 volt charger and connect to one batteries + and the other batteries -

some good diagrahms for different scenarios
