According to your profile:
2018 Outback 330RL
Specs show TWO 30# propane cylinders
Furnace is a 30,000btu
Temp set to 72*F......yep suck up that propane
Especially when maintain heat in a 38' trailer
Space heaters to 'supplement' furnace (not in place of....need that RV furnace to keep underbelly warm)
Electric blanket....so you can lower night time furnace set point down to 62*F (or lower)
Also check around for air leaks...trailers are NOT air tight and all that heat can get out. Slideout seals (3 slideouts), windows, entry door, vents, around fridge enclosure etc.
