First Trip Out

So I will be headed out for the first time this weekend with the new TT. It's a '06 Fun Finder X240, and I'm wondering about dry camping. I have 2 30lbs propane tanks and 3 group 31 batteries. Will this be enough for 3 days running the fridge (propane) and heater at night with some lights in evenings. Most concerned about propane as this is first time I will be using a TT with propane. I have a third tank that I can take if I might need it. I also have another 3 batteries mounted on truck so will be fine for battery power I think

I haven't got the LED bulbs yet. I ordered them but it doesn't look like they will make it here in time for this trip. With 6 batteries total and a couple solar panels I think I should be ok there.

If you use the furnace sparingly, you'll be just fine. We like to heat our up before bed, then shut it off, or turn it way down. Then, warm it back up in the morning. What kind of lights do you have. If you've switched to LED, they will have a very minimal draw on the batteries. If they are incandescent, they can drain the batteries pretty quick. Just use as little light as possible. When we're going to be out for several days, we'll just use a battery operated lantern inside the rig most of the time.
