How much LP does generator burn?

Tomorrow, we pick up a 2017 Melbourne 24M. It has a propane generator.
Our previous RV had a gasoline generator, which meant it shared fuel with the V-10 engine. Which also means that as long as we kept the gas tank adequately filled, running out of generator fuel was not a concern.
But, with the Melbourne using propane to run the generator, I think we are sharing fuel with other appliances.
Are we at risk of running low on propane if we dry-camp for 3-4 days?

(Looking forward to our first outing in the Melbourne!!)
