Hi all,
I have heated electrically down to -37 c (-34 f). It takes up to 7000 watts to do so, which works out to nearly 24000 btu's.
The issue with propane is a boiling point of -42 c. The rate of vaporization may become too low to support the demand from the furnace.
We’ve only experienced that once (in our 5er).....a very low level in the tank. The wife’s hairdryer gave us adequate vapor pressure, until a bottle could be filled! When we expect cold (-20 F or colder), we’re going to experiment with battery heater pads, wrapped around the bottle(s). They don’t pull a lot of wattage, so they could be powered by the inverter without excessive battery drain. But could run of off generator if need be!
