The build is going well. I'm leaning more and more towards installing a Wave 6 heater in my Hawk. Right now I'm using a Mr. Buddy and it works well, but I'm growing tired of changing the propane canisters throughout the night, this mostly applies to camping with the kids. My question to you is this; If I mount it on the back wall, next to the door, would you be concerned about the heat in regards to the small side cabinet?

Mine is a shell model, so the cabinet is the small sliding door model above the side window.
I do not think it would be a problem. The heat from the Wave is very directional and that is a good thing in confined spaces. If you are worried about it you could always mount it with a small shim, thus pointing it more into the center of the camper.


On a side note, I am considering not mounting my Wave on the back wall. But I am not sure where it is going yet. Also, I removed that small shelf above the window to access inside the wall, while it was out I weighed it and it came in at ten pounds. I found that a bit heavy (with the weight being high and aft) for the small storage space it provided. So at this point it is not going back into the camper.
