NOAA climate normals data

Propane for heat how long a tank lasts here
Also on propane

Temperatures: NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Molloy Cercom.

An estimate: wind, sun, the size and insulation of your RV and how often the door opens change the real use. Carry a spare tank in cold months.

Sleeping bag and pad what rating you need here

Temperatures: NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Molloy Cercom.

Guidance for tent camping. Ratings are ISO 23537 / EN 13537 "comfort" and "limit" temperatures from the bag's label. Check the forecast before you go - a cold front can bring a much colder night.
