"Just got home from a week of camping in -10 Celsius. If I leave the furnace running all night it uses about 2/3rds of a 10lb propane bottle for heating and cooking. I used a Honda Generator when running the furnace all night. Other nights I just turned it off and on when needed. My Hawk is a 2010 and the furnace is stock - not sure of the brand. It runs most of the night at a low setting. I prefer to keep the batteries topped off in that weather hence the generator. I have 2 AGM batteries.
I have used the camper in -22 Celsius - I find that the cold is hard on the camper. At that temp I sustained a crack in the plastic windows so be careful. I try to heat the camper before opening and closing to make the pop up material more flexible."

Wow...help me here...you used about 5.3 gallons of propane over night with out side temp -10 C [14 F]? I doubt if we or our '16 Hawk are the exceptions, but we typically can go almost two weeks on one 10 gal [actually they are filled to 80% or 8 gallons] bottle...cooking breakfast and dinners plus furnace off over night but set at 45 F with vent over bed open a few inches. In fairness our coffee and meals are short cooking times and mostly boiling a pot of water or a short simmer.
Good advice about pre-heating material when temps approach freezing...never thought of that.
