During cool temperature or high wind
conditions, furnace consumption can be
extremely high.
The following warning labels are located in
the cooking area to remind the user to provide
an adequate supply of fresh air for
combustion.
To calculate your propane supply, take the
BTU ratings for your propane appliances and
divide that into the BTU availability. Each
gallon of propane (3.86 liters) produces about
91,500 BTU’s (46,514 kilojoules) of heat
energy.
The following chart provides average propane
consumption information.

It is important to remember that (if applicable)
your furnace, refrigerator, water heater and
range all may use propane to operate. Each
has a different BTU rating, and you will need
to consider them to determine how long your
propane supply will last. Most RV gas
appliances are operated intermittently.
Propane consumption depends on individual
use of appliances and the length of time
operated. Unless there is heavy use of hot
water, the water heater consumption of
propane is minimal.
Fig. 6.10 Refueling warning label
Some states prohibit propane appliances to
be operated during travel, especially in
underground tunnels. Make sure you know
the laws for the areas where you travel.
