Propane Consumption
All your propane appliances are operated intermittently. Your
furnace is naturally the appliance using the most fuel, especially if
freezing conditions are present outside. On a very cold and windy
day it is conceivable that your coach could consume most of a 30
pound propane bottle.
Propane consumption depends mostly upon individual use of
appliances and the length of time operated. Each gallon of propane
produces about 91,500 BTUs of heat energy. Following is a list of
typical appliance consumption when turned on fully for one hour of
operation:
1. Water Heater 8,800-12,000 BTU
2. Furnace 20,000-35,000 BTU
3. Stove/Oven 6,500-9,000 BTU
4. Refer 1,200-2,400 BTU
Note, the above information represents many different models.
Propane cylinders shall not be placed or stored inside the vehicle. Propane
cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure
by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
