A typical 30lb tank will have a 649,980Btu capacity and the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR uses 41,800Btu's per hour so you would have approximately 15.5 hours of use with a 30lb tank. Most campers really won't use the water heater that much but it wouldn't hurt to have a backup 30lb tank incase you also plan on using the propane to cook with as well.

The # LSB64FR requires 11" WC which can be achieved with a regulator like # 108220 for a single tank or # 37207-30395 for a dual tank setup. If you're needing a regulator then I would need to know more about your trailer's propane setup to choose the correct one to mesh with your system.
