Dometic 12 cu ft on propane - does it use electricity at all?
We just got the PG&E warning that we may lose power for up to several days. If need be I was thinking of moving some of our refrigerated goods from the house refrigerator to the trailer. Obviously the Dometic would be running on propane. Does it draw electrical current and how much? I have two lead acid batteries in the trailer but I'm not sure how long they'd last without a constant AC power supply from the house.

The propane fridges in our RVs do use 12v power when running on propane. It is not a lot, and you will likely be fine if that is your only power draw. If you have a battery tender type solar panel, it would probably keep up during the day. There are also 12v fans, depending on your ambient temperature where you are at, they can start up and run when the fridge is working as well, drawing a little more power. If you have a DC clamp meter, shut everything off in the camper except the refrigerator, and see what your current draw is from the battery to know for sure.
