How efficient is a gas refrigerator?

Propane refrigerators are highly efficient. While the efficiency varies per fridge, most last longer than 11 days running non-stop from a standard 20lb propane tank. You can increase this using our efficiency tips below. Still, use electricity when available: it’s cheaper and doesn’t need refilling.

Can a refrigerator be run on 120 Volt while traveling?

The answer is NOT to put a bag of ice in the freezer (or put a fan in the fridge) while traveling. If you don’t want to use LP while traveling (I wouldn’t) and you have a 2-way, you run on 120 volt from the inverter and the vehicle alternator keeps the batteries charged. You don’t buy a $1500 fridge for the privilege of routinely buying ice.

What kind of power does a gas refrigerator use?

When the power mode switch is on the “Auto” selection, the refrigerator with run on 120-volt power when it’s available. It will automatically switch to LP if the power goes out, so if you have it on auto, it will not run on LP. Putting the switch to “Gas” makes it run on LP.

What kind of power does an RV refrigerator need?

How does a 2 way power refrigerator work?

However, when the refrigerant turns into a liquid, it goes back to the refrigerator and absorbs the available heat again. RV refrigerators using a 2-way power have a system designed to work with the electricity or LP gas. These type of refrigerators creates heat by using a 120V electric heating element or by burning Propane.
