My question is how much propane will we need to heat the trailer for 3 days, assuming the following;
• Outside temp 35 degrees, inside temp 60 degrees.
• 2010 Dutchman lite 25 feet long
• Dual propane tanks.
• 25,000 BTU central heating.
Any other cold weather hauling tips?
Rough guess about 1 bottle.
We set our thermostat at 70 and go through a tank in about 3 days. We don't use any electric heaters. I have dual 30# tanks but I heat more trailer. If both your tanks are full go have some fun. Remember you need 12 vdc for the furnace to run.
If you have the auto switch over on your tanks set it to one tank and manually switch it over when the 1st bottle is empty. That way you have a spare and not 2 empty tanks when you run out of propane. Better to do the 3am dash than have no heat. :)
