Based on BTU/hr ratings, a full tank will run a single stove burner
for about 48 hours continuous, or both of them for 24 hours.  Can't
say about the Propex.  My experience with the Dometic fridge in New
England summer climate was typically about three weeks without using
the stove.  IIRC the burner is rated around 600 btu/hr running flat
out; much less for the pilot flame.
