To all you RVers who camp in cold weather (30's and below) with an LP generator, do you have any tricks to keep it running when your propane tanks get below half full? We have a 5500 Onan LPG generator that runs like a champ if the temp is above the upper 30's. When it's 35 or below it won't run unless the tank it's drawing from is minimum half full. Cummins and our RV service shop have told us there's no way around this. Service tech said to put a small heater in the tank enclosure (would have to be battery-operated, obviously) but we haven't found one yet.
We don't plan to dry camp much in cold weather but unexpected things happen. It wouldn't take long to draw a 40# tank down to half full which would leave us in a bind. Would appreciate recommendations!
