can you use the wave 6 heater inside the motor home and must you keep the tank outside of the motor home? we bought the 12 foot lp gas regulator hose so can string it our the small window.

I would also suggest not to use any propane canister indoors unless specifically designed to do so. IE: propane torch etc. Check with your local building dept. / county seat for local codes concerning indoor tank usage, why risk your life or anyone else's if the potential hazard for explosion is there. Safety first then heat. As suggested by others the potential for venting of the tank is there, I rather have it outside for that.

Here is the manual. http://vagabonders-supreme.net/Wave_Catalytic_User_Guide.pdfThe tank should be outside. It has an overfill valve that can occasionally vent propane, especially when overfilled or if the tank gets hot so you want that outside. This tank does need to be purged before first use. Usually that can be done at your local RV/Uhaul Propane refill station.

When I built houses, I built them with forced air furnaces, powered by liquid propane. When I set the tanks I was required by the building department to be so many feet from the house. A 12 foot line would not be nearly enough. Conceivably a 12' line could be split off from an existing line inside the house, but it would have to be done by someone who know what (s)he is doing. I question the advantage of a line that must come through an open window. Personally i would never store or use a liquid propane tank INSIDE a house. If you had an accident, your insurance might be voided. The best source of what kind of venting that the heater requires would be the manufacturer and your own building department. As for the tank, I bought it to use with a weed burner.

Yes, I've used mine several times for emergency heat during power outages(which is why I bought it). I do keep a window opened an inch or two, to replenish the rooms oxygen supply. I also have a 12ft hose, so I'm able to keep the propane tank on the porch, not indoors. The small canisters are handy to have on hand, but only last about an hour.

This is probably overkill for a gas grill. I use this on a gas cooker, which is just a burner with no other control. This is also a high output supply hose which is more than is necessary for a gas grill. If your gas grill consists of three high pressure burners this is the piece of equipment you need. For a gas grill I would get this Sportsman GENLPH5 Regulator Hose for LP Generators, 5-Feet I do not have home LP supply but use a tank. I do not know what the hook up looks like.

Yes, but you need either a newer type Mr. Heater hose and/or a Mr. Heater LPG filter. Under high pressure (un-regulated) LPG hoses leach oils and contaminants into the gas which over time eventually cause clogging inside the heater. Their new hose is designed for un-regulated LPG.

Yes, proper hookup to any size tank you like. You do need a regulator and you really shouldn't have the tank close to the heater (against code). This little unit really cranks out the heat!

you need to find out what the heater is set up for natural gas or propane. If it is propane then of course you can get a tank delivered. if it is set up for natural gas then if you live where it is in the road or if you have a natural gas water heater or funace then you could have a plumber pipe a line to where you want it. just make sure to find out what the heater is set up for. You can buy the new items to convert it to what ever you are going to be using.

Jerry I purchased mine for additional heat in my shop that is attached to my home , I also attached it to my 500 gal L.P. tank but you will need a regulator placed on that line , do not go direct from the tank with- out one !!! Note there is a slight smell , for the price it works great . any other questions contact me .

I bought this camp chef and then set it in a back yard fire pit that I made from bricks. I ran the hose through a pvc and then to a little shed where I keep the propane tank. it worked out very nice. I went to a shop that recertifies the tanks and makes hoses. they made me a hose the length I needed. that's the way it would go just to be safe. let the pros do it. I would bet there is a similar shop near you somewhere. hope that helped.

I have used it in my bot cabin and in tents before. No problem using it short term in a trailer, just crack a window. I wouldnt use it unattended and don't try to substitute it for a heater.

Feliciah04, Hose is about 5 feet long, and yes a longer one could be used; just be sure you use one that is designed for LP gas usage, with the proper hose and fittings, not just any hose. Hoses could be available at a camping store or a propane dealer. Hope this helps, Jim.

Gordon gave the correct answer, to his inclusion of a "longer" supply hose. I did just that for my "little red campfire" and added a quick disconnect fitting for the "tee", the tank adapter, and quick disconnect adapter for the hose. Now I can power it from: a one pound container, a twenty pound container, and to the motor home!

we bought a regulator from lowes for a gas grill and just screwed in on. You wouldn't need that if you're installing in an RV or where there's already propane. We were putting ours in a newly built home. Into a countertop. We also had to purchase a hose for connecting it to an exterior propane tank. We love it! It's small and efficient! Fits well in small spaces.

I'm not sure what the correct answer to your question is, but I can tell you that it is recommended to keep the Waves covered when not in use. Allowing the media to accumulate dust will shorten its life. That said I'm using a wave that is probably 10 years old and I have a newer one that is currently stored until the older one bites the dust, no pun intended. We love our Wave 6's. Keep them covered when not in use and they should serve you well. Remember to allow ventilation (marginally opening a window, etc) when using any un-vented gas heater. I hope this helps.

Hello, I use my Mr Heater to heat a 16 x 26 area with no problem. But I have it insulated pretty good. I want to say I could run around 6 hours on a 20 lb tank? If your garage is insulated, you would be shutting it off part time. The best way is to run it thru a thermostat. TSC stores use to sell a thermostat the would work on one of these? It's a nice little heater that you would fine is pretty handy to have around.Hope this helps,RGH

Yes you can. My brother bought this engine from me and mounted it on his goldcart. He ha to run exuast off the motor and take the gastank off and mount in on the outside. Very easy and super simple. You can pretty much do anything you need to, to make this emgine work to your needs

I live in a 37 ft motor home and it kept my unit warm all last winter! I never had to turn on my propane heaters... well worth it! Plan on buying my son one for his motor home next winter! Fantastic

Mr heater does make a hose kit to connect 2 tanks together but i'm not sure how you would work in a gauge. i think you can get an inline gauge from mr heater also.
