Propane, that wonderful stuff
Great Topic...
When I bought my bus I thought I'd most likely have to install a diesel heater as I do a fair amount of extended dry camping -- I was wrong. Now keep on mind that I am alergic to any variety of cold weather. I am also convinced that Birds' were built with wheels so that one would be able to keep himself in a favorable temperate climate. So, I spend all winter months in the southern lattiudes and only venture north to destinations where it never gets colder than about 40 degrees. I have found that I only need to use one of the propane heaters in these environments to keep the bus warm and cozy. On a few occasions I have fired up two furnances to heat the bus up quickly when I've been away for several hours, but then I shut one down after 20 or so minutes. Obviously where you are, and how cold it is, will be a big varible in LP consumption. To stay toasty warm in the areas I inhabit you can multiply your 11 days by something, I'm not a math guy, and you get about 30 days without having to refill the tank. I think this is great! Here's hoping you all have warm extended dry camping in your Birds' !! And remember, use your head and not your LP, keep yourself and your Bird' in areas where they can't build snow-men. --James 78FC33SB LasVegas NV |
