How much propane will I use?
Hi everyone! Forgive me for posting a lot lately, but I'm totally hooked after picking up my first TT and taking it on two trips already (in under a month! Technically it was for "work" though) ;) ...

I did a test on my Dometic propane 3 way fridge a while back, running just propane and a full 20 pound cylinder lasts about 40 days straight continuous running.
I did something similar on my Norcold 4-door refrigerator, and it used 1/2 gallon per day. I'm pretty sure it's a bigger refrigerator than would be in the OP's travel trailer, but might be of interest to others.
Yeah it's a Dometic 2652 6cu ft.
Though the ironic thing about this entire thread is that the AC plug came out of the receptacle at some point since I purchased the unit, and even though it's been "off" when I wasn't camping for the first two trips, when I got back I decided to leave it on after reading the forums here.
Well, both my propane tanks are empty now (this started a week ago ish) - so that thing uses a little more than I thought - though I can't be exactly sure when the plug came out.
Only had the trailer for 5 weeks, at least two+ weeks it was switched off, and I've used the oven and stove a couple times.
Kinda a bummer.
