While in rest mode, the propane monitor draws about 0.3 amps. When the propane burner is active, largely due to the LP solenoid valve, the draw increases to around 0.8 amps. The ignitor's power usage is minimal since it only runs briefly during ignition. If running the fridge solely on DC power, consumption will adjust accordingly.
