    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub One week in and not happy with heating system

    We are fell time stationary while we work on our property. Full hook up. So my understanding of the furnace systems here is that I have 2 AC units and a heat pump in the middle and propane. Turned on the heat to electric hoping to save propane because we went thru a 30# tank in 2.5 days. That's...

    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub Propane to butane ratio in the US?

    Since this cuts across appliances and HVAC, I thought I'd post the question in the General Tech Topics area... The updated app for my Mopeka tank sensors has settings for the size and orientation of the tanks (in my case, 30 lb. vertical) and now ratio of propane to butane. In the past, the...

    It seems that I may have a propane leak. I'm trying to verify it with a manometer. When I hook it up I show 11 inches of water column just as it should. But when I try to bleed it down to 8 inches for the test by opening up a second stove burner it doesn't go down. Does anybody have any idea...

    Hello! We purchased our camper used last year and finally got to take it out last week. We noticed that every time we turned the burners on to cook, we got light headed almost right away. We have a carbon/fire detector that did go off one time but that was after having the stove on for 10+...

    Curious if I am losing my mind here. We set the Airxcell temp to a moderate 66/67 deg for bedtime. Running the furnace on propane, thermostat set for heat/gas. Wake up in the morning and the setting (66/67) seems to "creep up" to 68/69 overnight. I would assume this is not normal. Anyone else...
