Theoretically the fridge will run forever if you have a large enough tank. :) okay I'm being a smart a--. I take it you mean how long will it run on a filled propane tank? But that also depends on other things... like how much propane you use with the cooking burners or if you have a heater. Those appliances use much more than the fridge and can make a big difference in how much propane will be left for the fridge. It also depends on if your fridge is on propane 24 hours a day or if you are driving around on 12v. My own experience starting with a full propane tank and with just myself (more people will probably mean that the cooking burners will use more fuel) and using the propane 24 hours a day, is that the fridge stopped getting cold after about two weeks.
