Aqua-Hot Wave40 Heater System (Diesel) combines domestic hot water, forced-air interior heating, and optional hydronic heating in a single compact unit, giving van and RV builders one system to do the work of a separate furnace, water heater, and hydronic loop. It's rated for reliable operation at altitude, so it keeps working the same whether you're at sea level or up in the mountains.
This listing is the complete Wave40 system: the heater unit, the Aqua-Hot LCD touchscreen control panel, and the Wave 40 Install Kit, sold together as one package. It is a compact-cabinet appliance — it mounts inside the vehicle's interior storage or cabinet space, with exhaust and combustion air routed through a side wall. Installation must be done by a qualified technician in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 1192 (fuel-burning appliance, class I RV installation only).
One appliance replacing separate heating, hot water, and hydronic systems:
