How Long Will A Refridge Last on 30 LB Bottle

[HughM]

I'm putting the RV in storage for 7 days and want to run a 2 door refridgerator on a full 30 lb. propane bottle for that time. The only time it will be on electric is every other day on generator for 3 hours to charge my battery.
My question is how long has someone run a similar setup. Will the 30 lb bottle last the 7 days in 80 degree heat in the shade?
I'm looking for someone with experience with this and not answers with, maybe, probably, I think, I believe or if. Those type of answers may result in ruin meat which I don't want or need.

The main worry you will have is keeping the 12 volt to the refer, since it is only controls the battery should run the refer 2 days between charge as long as there are not parasitic current usage such as the various alarms, etc. that could kill it, no 12 volt no refer. The 30 LB should run the propane for several months as it is only a pilot flame. We have ran for over 5 months refer only but I had a trickle charger on the battery. Did that in Houston at temps 90 plus. Made about 3 months refer and hotwater heater usage on a 30 lb bottle.

Jim, Thanks but my post stated that I would be on generator every other day so I won't have to worry about a dead 12v battery. The 30 lb bottle will not only provide propane for the pilot light which only works when demand is called but for the heat transfer when cooling.

With the 12 volt supply, you can run the refrig for the time you want and more on a full 30 pound tank.
I have personally gone 4 weeks in temps higher than that while traveling the south west, using the stove too, and stayed on the one tank. We kept the fridge on gas because we needed the limited EL power supplies for other things.
For your specific refrig the consumption numbers should be in the owners manual or attainable on line.
Also, make sure your system has no leaks in it.

Thanks Jim and camper4, that's the info I was looking for.

you can kill a battery in 2 days that is why my posted was stated as it was.
