I got the Wave 8, and tried it out for the first time tonight to make sure it works for our next trip. It works really well. Within a half hour the center of the camper came up 5°C. We only need it warm enough to sleep at night. If the battery is good, I may use the camper furnace during the day to keep it above freezing while we're out on the ice field.
I set it up on the counter beside the stove because I know I will want to use the stove top in the morning to make breakfast. I do notice that the floor and ceiling get quite hot. I can keep my hand on it without burning it, so it's maybe about 50-60°C. I could see that constant use over the years of the heater could damage the counter top.
