Wave 3 Heater Performance

8K views 11 replies 8 participants last post by  mrsavage 
I've used the wave 3 the last 2 winters in Utah Col Cal and Idaho for full-time skiing. My Sprinter Van(144 high roof) is well insulated with a curtain separating the cab from the rest of the van. I do get moisture overnight and have to scrap the front windows in the cab but I only vent with the Maxxair turned off and cracked for ventilation. Seems the van has enough air leakage to not need to even crack a window. I have had the temp drop to -14F often. At that temp, the inside will drop to 40F. As far as depleting the Oxegen in the van my oximeter read 98 in the morning. Rust in the long haul may be a problem. In these conditions, I use about 1 barbeque tank in 2 weeks including cooking all meals. It does heat the van slowly after skiing but is fine for keeping it warm after driving. Have carbon dioxide detected that has never shown elevated levels.
