All of 48 hours is an exaggerated way of saying 'only', usually used with a negative connotation. I've been here all of 48 hours and I already have food poisoning. Some trip this is going to be!

People do sometimes say "all of (whatever)," but is not common and I would suggest you not use it. Usually it is tied in with some frustration, like it isn't enough.
