Fridge On Propane
How long will a 30 lb cylinder last running refrigerator strictly on propane
Forum Discussion
I don't see a rig in your profile, so don't have any idea what you might have, fridge-wise...
As noted, most RV fridges require electricity to run as well as propane, and if yours is one of those battery life will definitely be your limiting factor.
There are some fridges (mine's one) that require no electricity to run. I've never run "just the fridge", so have no idea how long a tank would last under that circumstance. I can say, though, that using fridge and stove on a two week trip recently I came home with half a tank of propane. On a late winter trip using the heater as well 16 hours a day, a single tank lasted six days.
