The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU # FR93FR at its maximum output will produce 60,000 BTU an hour. So at its highest setting if it ran constantly (which it won't, it only runs on demand.) It will consume 0.65 gallons of propane an hour. If you want to look at it per day it would be 15.75 gallons of propane per day if it ran non-stop.
Since it runs on demand the hourly rate is up to the user. It may seem like it burns a lot of propane but if you think about how a water heater with a tank needs to keep warming up the water every so often it will even out.
A standard sized 20-pound propane cylinder holds approximately 430,000 BTUs of liquid propane. Each gallon of propane contains 91,502 BTUs of potential heat and each pound contains approximately 21,548 BTUs.
