Now You Are Cooking With Gas
Ramblings
Last year I sold my house and land and bought a second hand 28 foot (8.5 meter) camper. I live in an RV Resort (so they call it). It was necessary to get by in our horrible economy and actually have money to do anything besides pay bills. I live by myself and I am very comfortable in this lifestyle. Though I will admit that I have plans to possibly get a larger camper down the road.
A few days ago my propane ran out again. Since winter started I only get around 6 days per tank when running my furnace. I wish I had bought larger tanks. I will have to upgrade before next winter that is for sure. My new schedule makes it more difficult for me to refill my tanks in the middle of the week. So I have to be more organized and adapt. I just went two days with no heat. It was not unbearable though it was not comfortable either. The worst part was no hot water! I am glad I have propane again. It is nice to be warm 😀. It cost me $120.00 USD to get these two 20# tanks (no there were none with the camper when I bought it). The 40# tanks I intend to upgrade to are $140.00 USD each, that is going to suck, but I will get by. With the 40# tanks I will be able to go 4 weeks (about) before having to ride into town to refill which will be great. That is a not going to happen right now though. Winter will be over in another month to a month and a half here so it makes little sense to upgrade now. And with the repairs I just had to put into my Jeep it is not in the budget either. In the spring, summer and fall I only use about a tank every few months for hot water and cooking. So it will not be such a big deal.
