We have a 4 door Norcold on our motorhome and we are running on propane(we have no electric right now). We are building an off grid home and we need to buy a propane refrigerator. I found one that uses 1.7 gallons of propane per week, it is not an RV refrigerator.

Can anyone tell me the propane usage on the larger Norcolds? Propane and electric? I was wondering if the Norcold might be better.

Thank You,
Lisa

My 1210LRIM uses about the same... I figured 30 gals last about 122 days.

Generally, a purpose built model will be better for off grid use- it will be heavier with more insulation, and it will not require 12 volt power for the controls.
