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.
Note: The above chart represents many different
models.
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and
charcoal grills and stoves, should not be used inside the
recreational vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the
recreational vehicle may cause fire or asphyxiation.
If you have double bottles and a standard regulator on your
RV, use only one bottle at a time. Otherwise, the propane
supply will be drawn equally from other bottles until supply
has been totally exhausted. Using one bottle until it is empty,
then using the second bottle, will allow you to fill the empty
bottle, at your convenience, without being totally out of
