OK, so this brings up another question...... How long does propane last? Assuming you were conservative, had 2 showers a day ( 2 people), a little heat am and hot water to clean dishes by. Do some trailers have propane stoves? ideas on trailers or should I ask on the trailer site?
Thanks,

My propane bottles usually last me all the summer.
6-7 weekends. I don't use the propane a lot. Fridge mostly. a little hot water. We primative camp, so I don't have unimited water, just whats in the tank. Not much heat either,
During hunting season. When I'm camping during Sept-Oct, I run the heat 24 hours. I might only get 3 weekends

I have a propane fridge, cooktop, and hot water heater, but no furnance. One bottle of propane will last me at least 8 campouts. It's very economical and I highly recomend it. I'm in south Fla so our camping season is from Oct - April.

We have a propane 2 burner cooktop, a propane furnace, a propane water heater, and a propane/AC refrigerator... propane is a really good deal. We were gone 10 days on a Colorado hunting trip, and never hooked up to anything during the trip. Used propane for everything, ran the furnace at night (were gone hunting during the day most days) and used 2 and about a half of 20 lb bottles. Cooked every day, had hot water on if we were at camp.
