I ran it for 5 nights and boiled water about 5 times, 3 of the nights
it was about 10 or 15 below zero ( I guess some people would say that's
extremely cold ). The other two were about 15 degrees F. I have the manuals
also ( thank you very much ) the figures I get support my suspicions that
something is wrong with the equipment, but they're not conclusive. Just
how long does your tank usually last? Also; when you get it filled, does
the top light on your tank levels panel stay on solid green? Both times
I got mine filled it took just a little over 2 gallons. The guys just look?
at me when I ask how much it cost, " it's on us " they tell me.
Thanks

Ed,
Unless you were running the furnace in extremely cold weather, it doesn't
sound
like you are getting enough out of your tank.? I continue to be
amazed about
how long mine goes between fillings.? The tank will only fill
to 2/3 full (the
bleeder valve opens at that point).? You also have guage (which
you will need
to stand on your head to read) at the fill point.? The Winnebago
service manual
has a section where they do a lot of arithmetic relating to the length
of
service under different conditions you can get out of one tank of propane.?
It
is stashed away in the van right now, but if you have an interest I
can post an
excerpt.
