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.

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?
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
Post by: pianoman9701 on February 07, 2018, 10:43:45 AM
do you have two 12 volts or two 6 volts? I run two 6 volts on my trailer.
2 12s

I am wired up to charge batteries when have gen going or plugged in to truck, but I hate hearing that furnace run off and on, it's loud and it uses juice. These don't use electricity and are quiet

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.Some info from big buddy website.
The Most Popular Portable Propane Heater in North America. This patented radiant 4,000-18,000 BTU Liquid Propane heater connects directly to two 1 lb. cylinders and is the perfect solution for heating enclosed spaces like cabins up to 450 sq. ft. An integrated fan increases the heating capacity of this unit, blending radiant and convection style heat to give you the best of both worlds. Two swivel regulators give you the ability to adapt usage from disposable cylinders to a remote gas supply with the purchase of a single hose and filter. To light the unit, simply push and rotate the knob. The built in Piezo sparking mechanism will take care of the rest. With the Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) and accidental tip-over safety shut-off, you can be sure that you will enjoy years of comfortable indoor safe heat.

I played around with a buddy heater or 2 at work the past few weeks. The co output was almost below the detection limit of my equipment (1ppm), we have WAY more issues running into co issues with our Honda 2k generators. Running 10' or so away from wall tents, we easily surpass safe levels very quickly if the wind blows wrong.
I use a buddy heater, I also have a co detector in the area. I sleep well, and warm.
