Sounds like some of y'all should fix the gas leaks on your "toys"....
I don't believe that it's coincidence that in 20 years almost of storing bikes and sleds in enclosed trailers, year round, I never have smelled gasoline fumes inside unless something was leaking or I was filling the tanks.

Wow. Are you going to Antarctica or something?
I would just go buy fuel and/or propane.
The north rim. The highway in has a locked gate. Propane and gas may or may not be available without a long drive. Basically we need to take what we expect to need with us. I hate to waste a day running around after supplies.
I once had the propane regulator fail at the begining of a hunt there. Temps were in the low teens, and no propane getting past the regulator meant no heat. I had to run into Flagstaff to get a new one. That wasted an entire day, and a lot of fuel. I now carry a spare.

Obviously, you need to keep brakes & brake lights connected.
Look at killing all the 12v in the house (FRIG) = Runs off the house batteries.

Only issue will be smelling gas if you need to sleep in the toyhauler with toys in it.
The toys actually have a vent that can fail. Its supposed to allow air into the gas tank, but not let fumes out. Ive had to sleep in my trailer with toys in the garage and its not fun. Those fumes are no good. My trailer has a front bedroom and even with the doors shut and windows open i will taste gasoline in my mouth for days.
Point being gas cans should seal 100%. Storing them inside your toyhauler is no big deal if done safely. Ive read the plastic itself is pourous. So its horrible for long term storage. But traveling with a common 5g gas can inside the toyhauler is very common.

I don't do this.
I put my extra fuel in the bed of my truck.
I carry 60 gallons in cans in the bed and still have plenty of room for wood etc.

2.5 weeks. Man. That sounds great.
Will you really run out of propane?
