I can do about  12 pots of coffee and run the fridge for a 3 day
weekend  and have my small heater on two  nights and not consume enough
to put a dent in the supply.  You can run your fridge for about 10 days
  and about 4 pots of coffee a day  on the base westy tank.

  yes there will be a pressure differential from sea level to denver.
example is a fire extinguisher filled at  sea level and then brought to
colorado will typically  read overcharged.

at  91,500 BTU per gallon and the westy tank is just under 3.   RV
place says its rated a  12 pounder. (4.25 lbs to the gallon of lp) at
about 400 BTU/hr for the fridge gives about 9  days to the gallon.
no  special adapters needed to fill
