2. Maine winter temperatures vary but generally in the area I will be in it tends to stay between 10 to 25 degrees. With occasions where for nights it can stay around zero degrees. Will I be burning through a lot of propane in an RV to stay comfortably warm? Say around 65 degrees? By a lot I mean a 20 pound tank every week. For insulation on the RV I was planning on a skirting of painted plywood with foam insulation backing.
At temps like those you could go through a 20lb cylinder in a day. I can't speak for all RVers but I spent a winter in Amarillo TX in my 5th wheel. The local propane company provide a large external tank which they plumbed directly to the RV and had to refill several times that season. Fortunately, I was workamping and the RV park picked up the tab for that.
Do you have any other options? Don't most college towns have a lot of apartments/houses for roommate arrangements?
