Here the info on Propane usage someone requested a few days ago;
I hope this answers your question on how long the propane tank will run the
Westy Dometic fridge.
Propane Gas produces the following;
-----------------------------------
1 pound of propane produces 21591 BTU's
1 gallon of propane produces 91690 BTU's
3 gallons of propane produces 275070 BTU's (Westy tank is 3 gallons)
Dometic fridge uses 650 BTU's per hour on high (max)
soooooooo...
275070 BTU's in a 3 gallon tank / 650 BTU's per hour used for fridge
= 423 hours (or 17.5 days)
