Feeling a lot of heat on outside furnace vent
Hi All, There is a lot, I mean a lot and very hot heat coming through the vent on the outside of RV. Is this normal? Thanks, Trudi

I don't know where you guys got those numbers. Most RV furnaces are 78-80% efficient which means 20% of your LPG is wasting heating the outdoors through the exhaust.
Want to determine the efficiency? Look at the label on the furnace. Divide the output BTU by the input BTU to determine efficiency.
example;
24,000 output BTU
divided by
30,000 input BTU
equals
0.8 which is 80%
