Hi Glen, I've been told it should last for about 3 weeks if used on fridge alone.
and .... I'm camping full time now so will let you know when my gas runs out, as I have just put a full bottle on last Monday 18th. Cheers sarg

It will vary according to the temperature the hotter the weather the more gas you will use and also the size of the fridge will determine the gas use.

As all the above said - several variants - we have a 3 way fridge, and use the gas cooker a fair bit, our hot water also uses gas, but we only turn that on when we need it. We have had 9kg bottle last from 15 days to 25 days - weather dependent, cooking dependent, etc. In the motorhome we have a 9kg and a 4.5kg in the gas compartment, so swap over when needed - which is quite often in the middle of the night!!!!!! Very happy is Billeeeeeee when he has to get out and change over at that time!

Hi Glen
We get about 3 weeks per bottle running fridge, hot water (first thing in the morning only) and cooking (cakes, casseroles, apple crumble, etc. as well as lots of cuppas)

always make sure you get the full Tropical ...
