How Long Do Your Propane Tanks Last
I am going out this weekend for a 2 days of dry camping and was wondering how long the two propane tanks will last since there is not a gauge on the tanks. I bought my TT at the end of last year and ...

Well, we have 2 30 lb tanks on our TT and this will be our 3rd year on our first tank!
One tank is disconnected and runs to our homemade outdoor kitchen ... runs a Coleman 3 burner camp stove.
The other tank stays connected to run the refrigerator if we ever loose power.... which I don't think has happened yet.
For heat we use an electric heater and maybe the furnace for 20 min or so a couple of times during the week if it gets really cold.... have done that maybe 3 times in the past 2 years.
Water heater is always electric.
We camp exclusively in Provincial Parks and the electric is included in the camp fees, and since they are so high, ($45.00/night before senior discount) I figure I'll use what I need and save the propane!
So ... there's the other end of the spectrum for ya.
There's no way to guess how long tanks will last because it depends on how you use them!
