We have enjoyed the heater as it doesn’t drain the batteries while using it. The heater keeps our 28ft airstream warm, but if the temperature drops below 40 degrees F. Outside, we use the rv heater and the Olympian Wave 8 together. By using them both at once it allows the rv heater to kick on less as the Olympian wave heater will maintain the heat inside the airstream longer. Yes I would recommend this heater and I would also recommend buying from Etrailer, great customer service.

The Olympian Wave 8 is still working great. We were boondocking in 7 degrees Fahrenheit and with the Olympian wave heater assisting our Airstream heater it kept us very comfortable.

Best heater ever.

I told etrailer that this heater was not going to be mounted and was not told I had to buy the feet to make free standing. now I have to wait for the feet to be shiped to me. THAT IS STUPID

I sincerely apologize that we did not tell you that the leg stands part # CAM57701 are sold separately for this heater. We are working to making this clearer on the site.



by:

So I haven't hooked up my heater and teasted it yet, but this is how it came. I can't believe I spend almost $[XX] and this is how it comes. I didn't one star because the styrofoam in the manufacturer's box (although barely together by the time I got it) seems to have held it together



by:

Efficient and quick service. I will repeat my expérience with etrailer!



by:

using this off grid to help heat our home - works great!!



by:

I now have two of these. I've been using the first one I bought for 2 years and its one of the best investments everyone should have especially if there's a power outage! Heats up my entire living room!

great product, works as advertised.

  • Correct Hose for the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater
    Yes, we do! The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater item # CAM57351 has a 3/8" SAE flare fitting. The shortest hose we have that connects to a propane tank is the 6' long Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator item # CAM57703. We also have the 12" item # CAM57721.

  • Can the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs Be Used Portably
    The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs part # CAM57351 can be mounted permanently or used portably. If using the heater portably then you will need a few extra things, the Camco Leg Stands part # CAM57701 and Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator part # CAM57703. The only thing left is a tank of your choice.

  • How to Determine the Best Wave Catalytic Safety Heater for a 29' Class C Motorhome
    The correct Camco Olympian Wave Catalytic Safety Heater is going to depend on how much space you are trying to heat up. The Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57331 is good for RV's 12' long and approximately 130 sq. ft. The Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57341 is good for RV's 18' long and approximately 230 sq. ft. The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57351 is good for RV's 23' long and approximately 290 sq. ft. If you are trying...

  • Propane Fitting Size Of The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater
    The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs # CAM57351 has a 3/8" SAE flare fitting so you would need a hose with a 3/8" Female Flare fitting like part # CAM57721. This hose is 12' in length and comes with a regulator so you can hook right up to the propane tank.

  • Is My Camco Wave 8 Heater Burning Inefficiently
    I am not sure how your Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs, part # CAM57351, is adjusted. If you are burning propane at 0.18 lbs/hr, that rate is almost 50% less than the 1/3 lbs/hr consumption rate that Camco says you should expect. I do not think you have anything to worry about. I have included a video demo link below.

  • Do I Need a Separate Low Pressure Regulator for a Camco Olympian Wave Heater
    Yes, you will need to use a low pressure regulator with the Camco Olympian Wave 8 part # CAM57351 but that is what the Camco Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # CAM59323 is. Therefore, if you have the heater tied in after the above regulator then you won't have any issues. In order to attach the Camco Olympian Wave 8 to the manifold on your trailer you are most likely going to need the MB Sturgis High Pressure Propane Hose part # 100383-36-MBS for 3' long, part # 100040-72-MBS...

  • Troubleshooting A Camco Olympian Wave 8 LP Heater That Won't Stay Lit
    Hey Tony, Since you're saying it won't stay lit it's likely either a lack of LP pressure or a bad thermocouple. I would start by ensuring the tank it's connected to is full and then test the hose and regulator with another appliance to see if the hose is the issue. I've personally ran into issues with propane hoses in the past where they won't allow enough LP through to fuel the appliance and had to swap them out. The regulator you're using may also need to be adjusted to meet the Olympian's...

  • Does Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater Need to be Vented
    I reached out to my contact at Camco regarding the Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57351 and he said that the unit doesn't require a dedicated ventilation system, but they do recommend cracking windows open that are across from each other while the heater is running. This is just to create some cross ventilation and it's all that is needed to ensure safe operation. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.

  • Can the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Heater Be Mounted on a Wall
    Yes. The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs # CAM57351 can be mounted on a wall, and even has some mounting holes on the rear panel. I've added a photo of the back of the unit so you can see how this will need to mount to your wall. I've linked a review video of this heater for you to check out, as well.

  • Dimensions of Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs # CAM57351
    The dimensions of the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater for Large RVs # CAM57351 are 15" long x 4" wide x 21-1/4" tall. There isn't an exact set safe clearance stated with this heater but Camco strongly recommends having a certified tech handle the install of this to insure you are compatible with all local codes. Beyond that you really need to use your best judgment and you'll be fine. I attached a review video for more info on this as well.

  • Thermostatically Controlled RV Heater
    The Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety Heater for Small RVs part # CAM57331 does not come with a thermostat. I am not really sure how that would work on a propane heater as such but we do have an electric heater with a built-in thermostat, the Arcon Compact Ceramic Heater with Tip-Over Safety Switch part # AR64409. However, this would not produce nearly as much heat as the Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety Heater for Small RVs. Please note the Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety...

  • Where to Install Olympian RV Heater and How Long will 14 Gallon Tank Last
    The mounting location for the Camco Olympian Heater part # CAM57351 really depends on where you'll want the heat the most. You could put it in a central location so that the whole RV gets heat overall or if you think you'll want it the most at night maybe the bedroom. With continuous use from a 14 gallon tank you'd see about 42 hours of heat roughly at a medium setting. Maybe a little longer.

    Each of the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57351 is designed to heat an area up to 290 square feet. This would be a great solution for the entire RV since that's probably right at where your RV is at. Since you wanted to use two I think the part # CAM57331 in the bedroom (can heat up to 130 square feet) and then the # CAM57341 for the rest of the RV would be about perfect. This heater can heat up to 230 square feet. So you would have a bit more heating capacity than...

  • Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater and its Fuel consumption
    The Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater, # CAM57351, is adjustable from 4,200 to 8,000 BTUs. It appears their rating of using 1/3 lb per hour is operating at, while not maximum, a high setting. A gallon of propane contains 91,502 BTU. There is 0.236 gallons per each pound of propane when the propane tank is at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. A typical 20 lb. propane bottle will have approximately 4.5 gallons of propane.

  • Troubleshooting A Camco Olympian Wave 8 Space Heater That Keeps Blowing Out
    If your Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57351 keeps blowing out when people pass by it then it could be a faulty thermocouple, which can be replaced with a like size from your local hardware store. You could also have a gas pressure issue if the regulator for the gas line is clogged. If it doesn't want to stay on past low/medium then that would likely be caused by low gas pressure. A replacement hose/regulator like # CAM57721 would likely solve the issue.

  • Longer than 12 Foot Long Feed Hose for Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater
    12 feet is the longest hose we have with a regulator on it like the part # CAM57721 that you mentioned but you could use a second hose with this to get a longer overall hose. For example you could connect the # 100040-144-MBS to the # CAM57721 and you'd have a 24 foot long setup.
