It has been awhile since I posted but I will give experiance on this one. We fulltime for the last 4 1/2 years because of work and we just left NE Ohio for Bloomington, Ind. While in Ohio we experianced temps as low as single digits a couple nights and teens for a couple weeks with highs in the 20's. The day we pulled out got approx. 30" of snow overnight.

We bought cheap 14" pillows (Biglots) and put them in the vents in the ceiling,heat taped the water line,black tank closed till full, kitchen galley tank left open, main grey tank left open due to much water usage (showers,cleaning,and washer). Furnace set at 67 with the fireplace on and a little electric heater in kitchen on high. Furnace would kick on about 3 times an hour. NO Problems to Report! No freeze ups or anything. Went through approx. 1 30lb. tank every 2-3 days.

Oh yea and we stayed warm. Thermometer inside said 68-warm enough for us.
With temps you mentioned a bottle will last us about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks set up like above. Fireplace helps ALOT!
