Going Off Grid

If it’s UK then very little as the ambient is low at the moment. A complete guess but I would say a quarter kilo. Be interesting to see if anybody has factual data.

For interest we were in southern France once when the the temperature was around 30 - 32 deg.C and I had an electrical problem so had to use the fridge on gas for a week. It uses a lot in hot weather!

Not a great deal, MG.

Back in the last Century ( !  ) my Campers ran on The 6lb bottle CampingGaz 907 and I could get thro' the seven days on the Great Dorset Site with no bottle changes at all and that covered Cooking,  boiling water for washing etcetera.

It will depend on the size of the appliance, do you have the model number?

As an indication, we have a tallish fridge/freezer  and it uses about 6kg of gas in 14 days in summer temperatures.

For a couple of nights not much at all.

Before we went the refillable route a 6kg propane would easily do a week. We now use a 10kg Safefill and easily do a fortnight off grid.

It should tell you in the handbook. If you haven't got one, seach online and you maybe able to download one otherwise as someone has already asked, what fridge have you got?

A good yardstick of consumption for all appliances when off grid in the summer is between 0.5 and 0.6Kgms per day.

Thanks for all your replies. Very useful.

hitch, i was dicussing this with a pal on site here and he came up with (web site?) 380 gm per 24 hrs...so 15.7 days from a 6kg bottle or just about 29 days from an 11kg large bottle...

ISTR reading anecdotal reports of people going through a 6Kg bottle in a weekend during winter but presumably that was for heating and hot water as well. Still seems a bit on the high side though.

CY, In my experience in the winter with all appliances running on gas, average consumption is about 1 to 1.5Kgms per day, so 6Kgm in a weekend does sound excessive.

Quite a bit more than my guess but ambient temperature is critical also (to state the obvious) how many times the door is opened and closed.
