Steve, I go an average of almost 2 weeks on a tank of propane using my Propex in pretty cold weather. Thats' like 6 or 7 times longer than what you are experiencing with yours. Same parameter's .... fridge, cooking etc. I wonder if its' because I have a 2002 unit vs your 1997 unit. Perhaps the newer units are that much more efficient. Unless perhaps you are camping in very, very extreme single digit cold. I've pretyt much been in temps in the low 20's and high teens. Kim, What kind of fuel consumption are you seeing with yours? good road, good adventure, good life, larry chase roadhaus.com - - - Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 06:35:22 -0700 From: Steven Johnson sjohnso2000@YAHOO.COM> Subject: Re: Propex heaters on sale, new model coming! I've had my propex heater since around 1997 and I suggest that if you plan to do some stationary camping and want this heater in your rig, to set it up so that you can attach a second spare tank to it through your main system. The times I've used it, it does go through the propane after 2 to 3 days if your cooking and running the fridge too. Oddly enough, I've not camped long enough to need the extra tank but I'm still glad that the tee'd in valve is there "just-in-case".
