For the temperatures you specify the propane usage sounds about right. Maybe your rv park will provide or arrange a 100 lb propane bottle and bring another when yours is empty? It's usually a bit cheaper that way. We've been in a couple of parks that provide that service.

Inside cabinets seems to always be drafty. You can put some insulation batts or roll in there and coer with foamboard (from walmart). Or just the foamboard. Your door sounds like it needs better weatherstripping or is not tightly adjusted (at the latch).

We stopped using the ceiling fan to circulate the heat. By the time that moving air reached us it was cool and just made us feel cooler. We were comfortable in this Montana but I had all windows filmed except the litle ones on the ends of the slides (long story why not those windows).

Foamboard between windows and shades also helps. It just slides in between shade and window. We buy the foamboard at Walmart in the home/office section. We only use that on windows where we rarely open the shades.

Make sure your electric heaters are not positioned where they are making the thermostat think it is warmer than it is and shutting off the furnace too soon.

Good luck. Being cold is not fun.
