I started one once and it does put out a lot of heat. Mine really had only two setting...cook or broil.
My understanding is that it really goes through gas quickly verses the Wave3 or 6.

I would not install it in a camper. With the roof vent, raining, going down the road, might fill the furnace with water.
She small furnaces made for campers, if You look around, You will find a lot of them are direct vent.
They have a double wall stove pipe. Hot exhaust goes out the inner pipe and fresh air for combustion comes in the outer pipe so they are about a zero clearance and, they do not burn air that has already been heated. I would say that the direct vent heaters must be about 80% or even higher on efficiency. At least the direct vent eater in My house is about 85% energy efficient.
The direct vent camper stoves exhausts and intakes out the side of the trailer.
The non direct vent heater would consume a lot of the available oxygen in a camper rather quickly, unless You have a window open a ways.
