You should be fine with the propane. We've never even emptied one of our two 30lb tanks during a season of weekend camping.
As Francesca posted, you need to be careful with your battery power. Look up threads on dry camping and/or boondocking for ideas and methods to save battery power. A "standard" deep cycle 12v battery can last a week dry camping with very careful use.
When we've dry camped for a week, I've brought along a spare battery (usually the old battery from the TT that I replaced because it was over 5 years old). I make sure it is charged up before we leave home. I usually swap out the battery in the camper on the last night before we leave for home, that way we can "spoil" ourselves a bit and do things like turn the camper lights on, lol!
