30# of propane a day? That seems really high. What temperature is comfortable? Is this winter camping in the Yukon?
I guess maybe a TH looses a lot of heat via the garage door?
Most propane usage I have heard of is about 1lb per hour at 100%. 30 hours of furnace time on a 30lb bottle. That would turn my unit into an oven.
LPG was not for just the furnace. It kept the fridge cold, water hot and food cooked.
It's still an enormous amount of propane only to keep a rig in the 60's. Again I've camped at -22F and would not even come close to that much propane/day even if JUST using the furnace alone to heat the rig and yes I also use propane to heat the water, run the fridge and cook the food.
I winter RV camp a LOT, fact is more than any other time during the year - no reservations, no bugs and best of all....no people. You do NOT need a top of the line 4 season "rated" rig to camp in it. Just some imagination and a can do attitude.
