12.2 gal propane: how long it last?

Entegra Oddyssey has 12.2 gal propane: how long it last?

For example, cook 3 times a day, 3 burners, 1 hour each time, refrigerator and hot water using propane.

Impossible to answer, too many variables.

How often do you open the fridge? How big are your pans? Are you frying, simmering or boiling? How long do you shower? Do you use really hot water?

Ok I'll bite. LOL
Stove top (5000 BTU each burner) X 3 burners = 15,000 btu X 3 hours = 45,000 btu
That a lot of cooking and burners on high the full time.
Refrigerator (1400 BTU) x (just a guess here) 15 hours = 21,000 btu
Water heater (12,000 BTU) X 4 hours (that a lot of hot water) =48,000 btu
Total 114,000 btu
91,502 btu per gal of propane X 12.2 = 1,116,324 btu divided by 114,000 = 9.79 days

Great calculation. 10 days is good for boondocking.
