Does this unit work in higher elevations, 7000 ft and above?

According to the installation manual - There are DIP switches inside the device to adjust performance for altitude. It has different settings for 0-2000ft, 2000-4000ft and 4000-6000ft. Over 6000ft they advise you contact their technical department at 1-877-737-2840.

i'm not sure but I know the manufacturer does not recommend use above 5,000 feet. maybe at that altitude there is not enough oxygen for a clean burn and I might give off more carbon monoxide.

Yes, it will i live up in the mountains at 7,000 ft, they fly a lil different but not much.

Hi Randy, The unit works on "line of sight". I have one installed about 150 feet from the house and the change of elevation is about 15 feet from the sensor to the receiver in the front of the house. A good rule of thumb is if you can see the sensor from the house, it will probably work. Give it a try...you can always return it... Hey Wally

Yes, it is very misleading. Radio frequencies work best on line of sight, so as long as there is nothing blocking such as buildings or high hills, 30 miles is quite possible if you have the elevation and no interference from buildings or other obstructions. Buyer beware. Regards Brian

We are at 7000 feet and it works great. One of the best investments we have made.The installation manual gives the proper pressure settings for your elevation. Hope this is helpful.

My RV repair people say 10000 feet--mine didn't work at that elevation but I solved the problem with new double stage regulator.

Not above 4000 feet it doesn't... I read that in someones review but it is not noted in the instructions that come with the unit.

No, it is a fixed location. The elevation is determined at time of installation. set the unit to work for the tallest member of the family and enjoy.

I'm using it in Boulder, CO, which is at an elevation a bit above "The Mile High City," so you should be fine. We haven't had any problems with it.

Camping World's website indicates "Safe for operation at altitudes up to 12,000 feet". I have used mine at over 7,000 feet altitude. Very satisfied with the performance of our Wave 6 Heater.

Depends on your area. I live in the mountains and it is not working all that well. Keep looking.

No, but the heater may be installed at any altitude up to 10,100 ft above sea level, provided the appropriate modification(s) are performed. The altitudes which require modification vary depending on the model. Parts necessary to convert the heater for outdoor installation at altitudes up to 7,700 ft (minimum) are included with the heater. Conversion is accomplished by replacement of the blower air inlet plate, and for indoor ap- plications, installation of a special vent pressure switch. The blower air inlet plates are clearly marked with the compatible heater model(s), vent configuration(s), and altitude range(s).

I am not sure how the performance changes with altitude, I reside at 3200 ft and have no issues at all. I would suggest visiting the March website and determine that.

No. you will have to get the BUNN that is specific for high altitudes. I live at 7500ft and had the same problem. What we did was buy this one and call BUNN and make a exchange. Dont know if the high altitude one is available on Amazon. Once we made the high altitude switch it worked just fine.
