gas usage

By my calculations about 10 to 12 days,depending of course on the ambient temperature and how well your fridge was fitted and insulated.

I'd agree with patrol03 - we got 7 days on ours with a 4.5kg bottle but we turned it off between midnite and 6 am to save gas. Thermostat does not operate when on gas and it is flat out all the time.

Good Luck.

I know it sounds obvious.....but keep the opening and closing of the fridge door to a minimum and the more pre-frozen stuff you put in the better as this helps to keep the ambient temp in your fridge/freezer down. We have a Dometic 180lt fridge with separate freezer and when on gas, it only fires up when the temps rise - it doesn't run non-stop

You are correct - it's when on 12Vdc that it runs non-stop. It's too long since we've run it on gas.
