375 RES propane usage
I was just wondering, just picked up the 375 RES 2 days ago and was trying to calculate winter propane usage.
I figure with 14 gallons (2 30 pound tanks), average night temp lows around 40 degrees, using the furnace at 68, average of 12 hour of furnace use a day, that this rig will get almost a week use.
Is this accurate? I was used to 2 weeks in my last trailer but it was a lot smaller.
I was wondering how many extra tanks I should get. for 2 weeks worth of heat.
Anyone with advice, I sure would love to hear it.

I will be interested to hear any comments as well. My 375 is new and does have the propane generator. We used it last month on 3 day weekend running a/c during day and furnace at night. 36 hrs run time on generator and emptied two 40 lb and two 30 lb bottles. Generator drinks like a sailor on shore leave lol. I would think that you'll be refilling at least one if not both bottles with 2 weeks of usage.

We have been in the low 40's to upper 30's and we use about 1 30# bottle a week. We keep it at 68 at night and run it up to 70 in the morning. Day's are in the 60's and may make 70's.
