Full tank of Propane=How many days of usage?
Can you tell me how many days you can get out of a full tank of propane? Our camper is a 17C Jayco HTT and there are 3 of us camping. We used the propane for about 6 days over spring break, only at ...

When we bought our HTT last March (2012) we had a full 30lb propane bottle.
We camped several times last summer, including a couple of time right after taking ownership, and it was cold so we ran the furnace quite a bit.
DH was concerned that we might run out of propane if it got cold so decided to make sure the bottle was full. It took one gallon out of the 7 gallon capacity.
We were very pleasantly surprised our running the furnace for a couple of nights, plus cooking mostly breakfasts on the outside gas cooker didn't use more gas las summer.
This year to shake out the cobwebs, we took the HTT to a nearby campground for a weekend in early April. The weekend was COLD - got down to 27 F one night and we had the furnace on both nights, all night, so presuming we'll have plenty for the rest of the year.
Btw - when we had our 'new purchaser' orientation at the RV dealer, we were told that for the two of us, the gas should last at least one season, probably two.
