30 minutes is not long enough! The actual time it takes to heat 10 gallons depends on the temperature of the water in the tank, outside temperature, and flame adjustment. If you are connected to shore power, why even use the propane?
My thoughts exactly! We have been full timing for almost a year now. We have a 12 gallon hot water tank. We have two 7 gallon propane bottles on the 5th and I last filled them last July in Newport, Oregon. I just switched to my second tank so I have used 7 gallons in about 10 months!
Use electricity when you can!
