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.
APPLIANCE
LP GAS CONSUMPTION
Water Heater
12,000 BTU
Furnace
20,000-35,000 BTU
Stove/Oven
6,500-9,100 BTU
Refer
1,200-2,200 BTU
Note: The above chart represents many different
models.
If you have double bottles and a standard regulator on your RV, use only
one bottle at a time. Otherwise the gas supply will be drawn equally from
both 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 propane.
