I have a 12K BTU HydroFlame in my '83 ASI diesel camper. I have not used it, but the PO said that it would use a full tank of propane in 3-4 days. If you search for HydroFlame on the net, almost all of the content has something to do with a lawsuit related to a mobile home fire that was started by one of their propane heaters. I think they are now out of business. Check it closely!
