We normally leave ours outside under a table, when we use the little tent , or in the "awning" with the Cancun.
It often gets very hot inside the tent so having a fridge
in side is not a good idea either.

It was said that a 3way does not use much gas but that flame is constantly on. Ours used a new 904 camping gaz bottle in 5 days and at Shell Island it was £19 to exchange! not a cheap option. Now we run it on a 7Kg Calor and it is turned off at night still plenty cold enough inside the following morning.

We put the bottle outside and the fridge is under the canopy, not a bright idea to use it in a smaller SIG tent. Carbon Monoxide kills and it is odourless.

We power ours off a 5kg BP Light cylinder. It lasts all year and we tend to have it on full 24 hours a day while we're camping. At the end of the year I exchange it when Homebase have a 10 or 15% off day, but there's always some left in it.

CampingGaz refils are a ripoff for the amount of gas you get, but some folk use them because they want to be able to easily exchange them in France.

Please do not adjust your mind... there is a fault in reality

We use a 6kg calor lite for all our gas stuff, Fridge, Dual burner cooker and cadac chef, Got 16days out of our first bottle.

If i remember i turn the fridge down to low over night.

The tent has got to 35oC and the fridge has stayed below 8oC I have now tweaked it a bit and added two fans to it to improve the performance.

Next week we will test it and see if it makes much of a difference.

Regards

Paul
