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. 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 (3.86 liters) produces about
91,500 BTU’s (46,514 kilojoules) of heat
energy.

Some states prohibit propane appliances to be

laws for the areas where you travel.
