    Propane vs Butane for Camp Stove

    Some trailers and RV’s have an external propane hookup for an outside propane stove. Mine did not but I had a cheapo $20 butane stove and I wondered if butane could do the trick for me? Long ago, we used to use white gas stoves. Those were eventually ditched in favour of the iconic green
