There is one more "slight" reason for some of us RV'ers to watch our propane use carefully - outside of raw propane cost considerations and regardless of weather conditions that require use of the propane furnace:
Some of us have Class B or small Class C motorhomes and don't tow anything. Our built-in propane tanks may be only 10, 12, 14 or 18 gallons (unlike the monster tanks in many monster Class A motorhomes). Since we don't have a tow vehicle or a towed vehicle to quickly run around in we have to break camp to go get our built-in propane tanks filled ... if we can find a place around where we're camping that will fill built-in tanks.
With a separate vehicle to run around in, one can transport the little 5 gallon or 7 gallon portable propane tanks to the many places that will fill them or supply exchange tanks.
For Class B or small Class C motorhome owners with built-in propane tanks, it's also tricky to carry along backup portable 5 gallon tanks so as to be able to use an Extend-A-Stay adapter with their built-in propane systems.
