Fridge/Battery question

Anyone have any idea how long the fridge will run on a single 12 volt battery and propane without plugging in the rig?

3-4 days. I know from experience that it is less than 2 weeks on 2 12 volts, with nothing else being used.

Make sure the ambient temperature control and climate control switches are off. Either one of these left on will greatly reduce the charge life of the battery. It may help a little if you can jury rig the light switch to keep the light off when the door opens.

Thanks all. We used the rig last weekend but had to put it in storage on Tuesday evening. Since we don't have power at the site, I was hoping I could just leave the fridge on until we pickup on Friday evening. Just got back from checking and it is only down 1 dot on the meter. We're picking it up tomorrow night so I think we're going to make it. Just one of those things to make it easier to get out and go again!
