Propane

Why not use the furnace or tell them you will pay the electric bill?

We have a 100lb tank now and will plan on having two during winter.

Every year we read of people who use small propane or kerosene heaters inside an enclosed building.. We read about them in the OBIT section of the newspaper.

So... I do not recommend doing it, Or I know they say it is safe if the unit has a low oxygen sensor (I'd rather not trust it) or if you leave a window open) Likewise) but safer still if you only use a properly vented FURNACE.

Now, as for the propane for the furnace... Most motor homes you either have to drive to the pump or have the pump drive to you .. I did that for a few years. Not all campgrounds have propane delivery however.

On most trailers you can take ONE TANK off and get it refilled while the other keeps you toasty.. and then when the other runs dry swich back to the first and refill the 2nd,, and so on .

Here if ya run empty ya take it by the office and they fill it.

Why did you request a furnace in your unit.If you cant afford propane wait till summer before you asphyxiate someone to save a dollar.
You go 2oldman. Use your furnace.

How much would the charge for electricity be? Might be cheaper than propane.

Hi to all. We are gonna stay the winter in the cg we are in now. We were gonna use electric heaters but found out today the cg owners say no to electric heaters. They watch the electric very close. They have grids and if too much electric is used they will charge ya. We may be the only ones here in the winter in the grid for the area. My question is is the small propane heaters safe for inside. Thanks as usual for yer answers. God Bless.

The part that I've bolded reads like a red flag to me of a landlord telegraphing that they have you over a barrel and will return each month with their hand out asking for more money... and they'll have a new excuse every time. Your post implies that the cg may have low occupancy for the winter. This incentivizes the cg to squeeze as much money out of each occupied site as possible.

If the cg refuses write a lease for the winter, you're at the cg's whim. Leave.

If you do have a lease (or are getting one), have it spell out everything that is included and not included:
power, water, sewer, cable TV, WiFi, guest fees, extra vehicle fees, pool/spa fees, additional park fees. If the minimum length of the lease is for more months than you plan to stay then negotiate the termination fees.

If the lease includes xxx kilowatt hours of power included per month with xx cents per kWh after that - if your pedestal has a utility meter on it then become a meter reader and write down your power usage. I've heard too many stories from RVers who caught the cg fudging the electric bill.

A lot of mistaken fear mongering here. However, if your RV has a furnace, as pointed out, get a large propane tank delivered.

If your furnace works, use it. That way you keep your plumbing from freezing, too.
