I built my own heater it runs on propane and uses 1amp of power. It's hot water heat using the HWT as a boiler, it is very quiet and works great.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Do you think the buddy heater is as efficient as this? Buddy heaters I already have...
I didn't realize the furnace used so much power with the fan. When I bought my camper I figured propane heat should be good for days and days. I did just get the two 6v batteries so that should help. Thanks for posting about the heater, I am going to look into them.

I installed a propane quick disconnect for use with a Wave 3 catalytic heater.  We boondock and want to conserve battery power as much as possible.

I installed a tee between the stove and the propane line.



And ran a 6' propane line with quick disconnect to under the refrigerator.





Here's the Wave 3 catalytic heater (still in bag) connected to the propane line.
