First off I think you need to clarify a couple things....how cold is it outside, this is important in determining the temp you are starting from....secondly you need to define what is "a long time"...and yes it will consume a lot of propane, but again depends how cold it is and what you are trying to warm the trailer up to..are you trying to reach 65F or are you shooting for 80F...it's all important in trying to answer your questions. To give an example, we have the exact same trailer last time out, outside temps were getting to about 28-29 at night, and rebounding to about upper 30's in the day, was also very windy which makes a difference. We went through a 30lb propane tank in 3 days, maintaining the trailer at 72F, and we supplemented it with an electric heater.
