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.
