The good thing about these is that they will give you $ 0.99 back for every $ you put into them. I have used as computer case fan (12VDC and 0.25A) to circulate the air. No noise. Worked for me. When I hook up I use a ceramic electric space heater coupled to a baseboard thermostat and that works just fine too.

There are of course other manufacturers of catalytic heaters, but this one has a larger selection from 1500 BTU to 60000 BTU input. Since 99% of the gas is used the output is practically the same. (less 1%).

Finally here is a link to an RVer who did the conversion:

Even Camping World sells catalytic heaters, of course at an inflated price, but they have them. That is the Olympian brand.
Hm interesting but for me the existing heat along with my Pelonis heaters is doing great & very cost effective for as much as we camp for now. The TM heater can run us out so far on its on on cold nights in the mountains. Propane usage has been minimal for us so far.
