What Is the Difference Between the Little Buddy Heater and the Camco Olympian Wave 3
Question:
The Little Buddy Heater provides about the same amount of heat 4000 BTUs, but uses a bit more propane 1/5 - 1/6 lbs/hour for the Buddy vs. 1/8 lb/hour for the Wave 3. The Little Buddy heater is about 1/3 of the price. What makes the Wave 3 worth the extra cost?
