Propane usage for a Refrigerator
I am wondering about the approximate propane usage when the refer is running on propane. I am thinking of leaving the refer on between short trips when parked in the storage lot.

Hi,
I believe the 300 ma are to run the circuit board. The gas valve draws about 1 to 1.5 amps. Duty cycle is a whopping 2:3, so I'd count on about 1.5 amps per hour of run time, or 36 amp-hours per day.

My fridge uses 0.25 gal propane per 24h in moderate summer temps. As has been mentioned, DC electrical use is an important factor. I estimated about 3 amps per 24h for mine, But it could be as high as 7 amps - I am not sure if it uses the 300ma constatantly, or only when cooling.
