So 38’ 5th wheel. Wondering how fast I will use propane running furnace at 55 over night to keep pipes from freezing? I have two 40lb tanks.

I depends on how cold it will be. On one of my trips I was in mid teens for most of a week and half. I was replacing propane tanks about every 4 days.

Why not look for a 100 lb bottle and not have to worry about it? Most parks contract with propane companies and the cruise the parks regularly. Lyle |

I am Lubbock Tx. Trying to get big bottle but everyone is out. I set heat at 55 only on nights it’s supposed to be below 32. Run electric heat in bedroom and after it warms up in whole camper. Our electric is included.

I forget who's going where... Alternative is to run the electrics and use a fan to force warm air into the basement. Don't forget to open under sink cabinets to allow warm air in there, too.
