I do not know the propane line you have to know if you can use it, but I can tell you the correct hose for the Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater for Small RVs # CAM57341.
What you will need to use is the Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator # CAM57703, which will connect from the fitting on the heater directly to a propane tank with a Type 1 male connector. It can't be double regulated so it will need to go directly to the tank. view full answer...

When it comes to installation/setup, you do need to ensure you have a professional install this, have a window cracked to use the heater, and verify your propane set up meets your... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
I recommend using the Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator w/ 12' Long Hose # CAM57721 for your Camco Olympian Wave 6 # CAM57341. This comes with 12' of hose which is a bit shorter than what you're wanting, but the flip side of that is you have to be careful with how long the hose is because that can start to drop the pressure which means your heater wouldn't work because there wouldn't be enough pressure.
I don't recommend trying to extend the hose more than the 12' that comes with the... view full answer...

If you will be permanently installing the Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety Heater part # CAM57331 then you would need to run a hose from the heater to the propane manifold.

There is not reason you cannot add an additional shut off between your propane lines and the Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety Heater for Small RVs # CAM57331 you were looking at, but it is not required.
