There's a whole topic on propane usage, or use the googler. .5-.7 gal of propane per hour for the genny.

Living in it for work for weeks, I can't really subscribe to "survival camping" mode of operation. If I can't live "normally" then I should rent a room or apartment or something.
Bottom line it varies greatly. Camped next to a dude this summer who had twin chit tanks and twin gray tanks (big toyhauler). Him, his wife and kid couldn't go more than 3 days without calling for the turd burglar to come empty their tanks.
So you have to figure out how much you need. No right answer.
