OK, Now I'm going to have to totally Disagree with you! Functionally Illiterate??? I don't think so, I've seen many of your posts/replies on here and that would likely be one of the last things I would think of you.....functionally Illiterate! It's all good and I appreciate your comments, thoughts, and your contributions to this forum. At the end of the day, hopefully what we can all accomplish here is to help others with this thing that we all love.....camping and the happy and fun pursuit of that hobby!

Here in NW Arkansas it's been cold for a while and this weekend was REALLY cold.....especially since we just moved here from SoCal, and blood is still a tad bit thin.
Going through a LOT of propane.....purchased two 40lb tanks to supplement the stock 30 pounders.
Using fireplace and an additional "ceramic" heater.......keeping it in the 60's in the coach.
Biggest issue is water........we have heated hose.....good to 20 below, but even with heat tape the "bib" keeps freezing up.Cal, Marsha and Bear the Labradoodle

You may find it helpful to fill your water tank, then run the pump for water. It should stay thawed if the basement is heated. As needed, you can refill the tank, then put the hose away so that it does not freeze up. In some sites, the “bib” actually has a below-ground shutoff, so that it does not freeze up when it is shut off.

When we were winter camping at Mt. Magazine with full hookups, we opted for the previous recommendation. Filled the water tank and the disconnected and drained the hose. Refilled the fresh water tank as needed. I also dropped a section of the basement wall and plugged in a ceramic heater in the belly of the beast.

Thanks for the input.....at this point we're leaving a "trickle" running overnight.....seems to be OK......by the end of the week it will be nice here so shouldn't have any issues after today and tomorrow.

Check from time to time that the trickle is getting all the way through the system. If there is a kink in the sewer hose or a low spot it's possible it can freeze up and cause a clog, then back the whole system up. Waking up to overflowing water is not very fun. Mopping before morning coffee sets a bad tone for the whole day.

How cold before propane stops working
I'm from Canada and had propane tanks freeze up at higher temperatures than that. I've had 30 pound tanks freeze up at -10 to 15C (-15C is about 5F). Tank size is the biggest factor as smaller tanks have a bigger surface area to the volume of gas therefore the gas cools quicker than in a larger tank. I ski and park the 5th wheel every year in Whistler so to avoid that problem I rent a couple of 100 pound tanks. The Venturi effect of releasing gas from the tank also lowers the temperature of the tank below that of air temperature. Elevation above sea level can also effect the pressure in the tank and cause a freeze up sooner that expected.

OP, here.
Got down to about 5 degrees two nights in a row.
Had the thermostat set at 62 degrees.
Have a couple of remote thermostat sending units and set one in the rv and one just outside the nautilus system, in the storage area.
From the house, I could monitor the rv temps.
Also, left both sink cabinets open.
In the rv, showed 60 degrees and the other one showed about 46 degrees. Cooler in the storage area.
Used 4 30lb bottles.
Success!
