supply of fresh air for combustion.
Calculating Propane Gas Usage
Most RV gas appliances are operated
intermittently, and each has
a different BTU rating. You
will need to consider this
when planning your propane
supply
and
consumption.
Unless there is heavy use of
hot water, the water heater
consumption of propane
is minimal. During cool
temperature or high wind conditions,
furnace consumption can be extremely high.
To calculate your propane supply, take the BTU ratings for your propane appliances and
divide that into the BTU availability. Each gallon of propane gas (3.785 liters) produces
about 91,500 BTU’s (96,528 kilojoules) of heat energy.

Traveling with Propane
NOTE:
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.
