Subject:Re: Speaking of LP Gas how long does a tank Last

Three weeks of "normal" use seems to be the conventional wisdom, but
that's without a heater. I don't know what "normal" is, I suppose
nothing too stove-intense like cooking for  for more than two people.

Some people use their fridge while driving, others point out that it
would be illegal to do that in a tunnel, others point out that it is
illegal to do that on some roadways.

I would like to do it, but other than cruising around through state
parks at low speeds, my pilot light blows out. Otherwise I have no
trouble with the fridge at all.

I keep tabs on camping days on a piece of paper, with a mark for
every day using the stove and fridge and two for every day using the
heater. When the marks equal 14, I refill, and the one-third margin
of safety seems to correlate with what I actually put in the tank at
refill time.
