How long will LP last for fridge cooling?
I plan to park my motorhome in dry storage for 2 weeks and don't want to empty our fridge & freezer. Does anyone know how long a 50 gallon LP tank will last running the fridge & freezer only?

You could probably go for 6 months if the refrigerator was the only thing using propane. We usually fill ours once or at the most twice a year and use the furnace, gas stove, gas water heater, and refrigerator for 2 - 3 month trips.
Having said that I'm not sure leaving the refrigerator working and unattended for 2 weeks is a good idea. If the flame goes out and for some reason (wind blows it out, dirt particle gets into the igniter or burner, etc.) and it refuses to restart you could have a real mess. I know it's inconvenient to empty it, but in the long run it may be the best idea.
