There are lots of questions on all the forums about propane usage and the amount used for doing various things. The following came from the owner's manual to my old TT:

1. Each LP tank is 30 lbs (7 gal of gas at 4.2 lbs/gal).
2. Each gallon = 91,500 BTU of heat energy, for a total of 640,500 for each tank.

Here is a general chart for appliances and the amount of BTU comsumption for one hour of heavy usage:

Water heater, 12,000.
Refrig, 1,500.
Furnace, 20,000.
Oven, 14,100.
Each stove burner, 5,600.
