Propane usage
Hi there :) I do 100% full time RVing. I live in the North and the overnight temps can get to -30ish. I have plug in electric heaters and a propane forced air furnace. The propane lasts upto a week....

What size propane cylinder/tank----gallons??
In those temps you are getting up to a week on propane use then you are doing GREAT? Unless you have a motorhome with a large propane tank
In -14*F temps we had to get a 30# (7 gallon) filled every other day
'Golden_HVAC' makes a good point about the design of RV water heater.
That combustion chamber is wide open and runs up thru tank sucking cold air in/around water inside tank
That's alot of surface area in contact with the water.
In (-)degree temps I wouldn't experiment and just pay for the propane
