So FED UP with Propane. Advice Please
I have had it with this ridiculous nonsense. We have a 19ft trailer we use very often. EVERY NIGHT the propane system shuts off. I've been reading on this problem for a couple weeks now and it really ...

Propane, vaporizes at temps down to around minus 40 on your choice of scales (C or F), Though as you approach -40 the vapor pressure may go down far enough to cause issues (we are in the -35 to -40 range here, you are not even close)
Butane, however, has a normal atmospheric pressure boiling point of about the melting point of ice (Freezing point of water) that is zero C or 32 F (Within one degree)
If you fill up in sunny southern CA or there abouts, they may be selling you less expensive BUTANE at the more expensive PROPANE price.
And if they do. You happens is EXACTLY what you describe.
