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.
The following chart provides average propane consumption information.

Use care when fueling your tow vehicle. Make certain your propane container is
properly fastened in place.
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.
The label listed below should be kept permanently affixed to your RV:
