We may have to go off grid for a couple of nights on a trip.

Can someone give me a rough idea on how much gas a fridge uses over two nights?

Whether winter or summer running off LPG is quite a bit cheaper than paying for electricity even in the UK. Currently the price round here is about 0.65p a litre. 2 litres =1Kgm so winter consumption of 1.5Kgms per day would work out a £1.30 per day. If I was on EHU I would probably be using between 30 to 40Kwh a day. At 0.15p per Kwh that works out at £4.5 to £6 per day. Gas is also more efficient at heating the van.
