Venturing out further now and wondering how long a typical 18 lb tank of gas lasts. I just don't have a feel for it yet even though I somehow can predict when the tank on the BBQ will run out.
I understand this is a question with a high degree of variability. Consider summer wx, 80's all day, shore power at night.
If the fridge is basically the only device on for 8 hours, how many days do you typically see on one tank?
Pardon me if this topic has been covered before, my search found a great deal on whether propane should be on/off while underway but didn't find run time or consumption. :h
To quote my neighbour "Well you answered your own question complete with variables that no one can calculate to any degree of accuracy. Do yourself a favour and take along a spare 20lb'er and keep track of your usage" I have a handheld baggage scale, weight the tank full, write it on the side of the tank. When completely empty, weigh and record that weight. Any weights in between will give you a reasonably accurate guess of how much used or left.

I easily get a season out of a tank. One thing you mentioned is that it's on shore power at night. If you are only on propane when driving and not running the heater, I would say easily a season probably two.
