For your own protection, the preceding warning label has been
placed near the cooking area to remind you of the need of oxygen
for combustion and breathing. Due to smaller area in your
recreational vehicle, there is less oxygen than in your home. Proper
ventilation is required when cooking.
It is especially important that cooking appliances
not be used for
comfort heating,
as the danger of asphyxiation and unsafe
levels of carbon monoxide are greater when the appliance is used
for long periods of time.
Propane Consumption
lf your propane appliances are operated intermittently, your furnace
is naturally the appliance using the most fuel, especially if freezing
conditions are present outside. On a very cold and windy day it is
conceivable that your coach could consume most of a 30 pound
propane bottle.
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.
