Hey. Thanks for all the helpful tidbits, all good to know. I have learned something else, potentially nearly a bombshell within this little soap opera melodrama. Someone told me that if the RV came from CA and the propane was filled in CA (yes, yes) then it has butane in the propane and the furnace will not work when the temp gets in the 30's because of this. That would explain a lot. Has anyone else heard this, and if so, what does on do to stay warm with a propane heater in CA?
If the above was/is true, then there is virtually no problem with the RV, short of having a fill of unideal propane/butane mix in the tank.
I believe that practice was prohibited back in July 2019 When I asked my Propane dealer that is what he quoted.
This regulation has to do with ADDING A REQUIRED ODORIZING AGENT TO THE BUTANE. LP and Butane in most states(Texas is one) requires that an odorizing agent be installed in the Liquid LP/Butane for safety. What the Reg states is that there MUST be the odorizing agent in any product that uses Butane.
Ethyl Mercaptan is the odor agent added for LP and Butane. Doug
