Getting ready for a short weekend trip. I filled water tank to 2/3's to save weight. While watching the gauges I realized the propane was empty AGAIN! I've left the furnace on the last (2) trips after we got home. That works out to about $100.00 in propane for a couple hours heat. DW not happy with me. Maybe someone can remind me next Monday, to turn off the thermostat, though I think DW just might do that.

Mike

Mike... How can you forget to turn off the flame with a "screen name" like mfire1339 ??
I will mark it on my calendar to remind you!

Turn off the propane.......just a reminder... You might also want to check for a leak at your regulaor. I found a leak at the hose connection on ours. Not a big one but just enough.

Let us know if you come up with an empty tank again.

I always turn my propane off at the tank when it's in storage.
