Thanks for the info on how much propane might be used in a day. Never really thought it about much here. I have the two 20 lbs tanks and when one goes dry I switch to the full one and then go looking for a place to fill up the empty one.
In all of our off road camping have never run out of propane. We also don't use the propane furnace all that much as well and it is really set real low at 40 degrees for a backup source of heat if needed actually. Electric heat and electric blankets at electric sites - Camp Fires and Electric Blanket off the batteries at the off grid camp sites is what we use then get under the covers at night haha...
There is only the two of us so I guess having kids along would make for a totally different setup as far as heat would be concerned.
