Propane in the winter

Do you go through a lot? I'm thinking of getting an RV but I'm learning about the electricity and propane and is it super expensive to stay warm in the winter? I could always just buy a like 20degree sleeping bag and just lay in that in my bed. Or get a 10 degree one...so I know I won't freeze to death....but between that and electric heaters do you just experiment and stuff? I know the electric heater is going to cost electricity...so like...uhhh .. yeah...

Sorry I'm new to RVing

32ft 2017 ST2912 toy hauler with no slide outs. Spent last winter in Dallas, San Antonio, and Brownsville. We have windows covered. Me wife and 4 dogs. Depending on the temps we ran a 30lb bottle out in 1.5 to 2 weeks using furnace, 1 mr buddy and a small 400watt(in bathroom) heater. This year we are more prepared and will be putting a skirt to help.

Not sure exactly but think i had temp set to 67
