how long will a 9kg gas bottle last

We got about 2 weeks running our 3 way fridge.

Hi Brian, We were away for three months and used our 9 kg. bottle almost every nite for the fridge only. It was almost empty on our return.
Enjoy

How are ya old boy,,,haventseen you on here much lately...
how is the better half and the pooch doing? All fine i hope.

The 9kg we have will last about 8 days,,but that is cooking with the stove as well.
I suppose thats why we carry a spare one...:)

At this time of year, being that is cooler so the fridge won't work as hard i think you should get close to two weeks out of one bottle.

Hmm a 4.5kg one would last me around 10 days with some cooking so I guess 20 maybe 30 days?

Brian,

I have a Chestcold fridge freezer and I was told by the service agent for them I will get 28 days running the fridge freezer.

Hope this helps

We got 9 days on 4.5kg, used for fridge alone (90L-3way Dometic in Avan Cruisliner)

G'day Brian,

We get around ten days out of a 4.5kg so I would guestimate you should go for around 20 days but there are a few variables to consider such as ambient temp etc.

Have a good one.

Similar sized Electrolux fridges use about 200 grams of gas per day. So, a kilo every 5 days, x 9 kilos is 45 days.

The amount can vary -- with very low winter overnight temperatures, you can turn the thermostat on the fridge right down and hardly use any gas all night.

Of course, very hot daylight hours will require a high setting.

Brian,

Maybe worth specking to the service agent for your model of fridge and ask them how long the cylinder will last.

We travelled (van + Troopy) for 13 weeks last year and used 2 gas bottles the whole trip. Gas cooking on standard van stove most evenings + fridge every night (we mostly stayed on the oradside or in 'free' camping spots) with lighting from 2nd bettery in 4WD.

You might have some trouble with the 2 Engels (freezers) off solar - I assume you will run the fridges off a battery and recharge this from the solar panels.

Personally, I would take a small generator as backup .... those selling about $ 150 from Bunnings are adequate for a camping fridge.
