I would have to agree that one of these is a possibility. We just got back from 3 days out and it got down to 20 - 25 each night and we did not go through one of the propane tanks and DW had it set at 70 all night. I would check into it a leak or filling properly and trying again. Hope you figure it out. Good luck.

Fill the tanks completely and try again.

I'd go with smkettner, unless there is an obvious air leak allowing heat to escape. You can't be sure of a really filled propane cylinder from the original fill up.

It has to be a leak or improperly filled tanks.
Just went all winter (KCMO) and never used more than 9 lb a day(temps to -2F). Have single pane windows and kept a comfortable 72 at ALL times.
Winter avg was 6 lb/day (10/07 to 4/08).

I've camped for 7 days in October with temps down to around 10-15F and didn't use both 30# bottles. I realize those are larger than yours, but the temps were quite a bit colder. I don't supplement with a ceramic or any other source, just the furnace and I don't go cold. I do turn it down to around 55-60 during the day, but evenings I warm it up to around 70. I think there is either a propane leak or a significant air leak that's bringing in too much cold air.
Please check the system for leaks. I'd hate to hear about a gas leak causing you any problems.
Good Luck!

Congratulations on your new Roo 26RS.
Did you get it at RVW?
How much weight does the bunks hold?
I can't find anywhere they specifically say the weight. the majority of documentation have seen say the bunks hold 200 to 250 lbs.

Bunkends on the Rockwood Roo hold something like 1200 lbs each. If you're talking about something else, please disregard. Even regular bunks in TT's hold 250 to 350 typically.

Yes,
Thank you
Was curious how much weight the quad bunks (each one) were rated to
hold on the Roo model

Sounds like a leak to me. Definetly invest in a couple of ceramic heaters. We have 2 and our furnace barely ran. After all you are already paying for electric at most campgrounds. I used about 45-50 pounds on a week long trip but only because I accidently had both gas and electric switched on for the water heater.
