Thanks for your help. Love this group.

Your fridge uses VERY little propane to run and most will get colder on propane than electric. Your fridge actually uses heat to run, either a propane flame or electric heat rod. Since the propane generates more heat the fridge will actually get a little colder. Depending on the size of your fridge, outside temp, etc, your fridge will only use about 1 gallon, give or take, per week.
