I purchased a Coleman BlackCat Perfectemp Catalytic heater. I think it puts out 3000 BTU of heat. It has high and low settings. It is made for a portable propane cylinder. With fittings I converted it to be used on a large BBQ tank. From Amazon it was $59 last October. We used it in Utah last November. Like a Wave you need to ventilate the camper. I installed a CO monitor and already had a smoke detector. When buying a CO monitor make sure you get one that is RV rated. They are tested and rated for lower temperatures.
The heater worked fairly well. I had to provide a fair amount of fresh air which impacted efficiency. There was a very slight odor even after the initial dust burn off.
Some day maybe I will camp with someone that has a small wave to compare them.
