Is gas still an option?

Sounds about right.

how much gas does a full size dometic motorhome fridge use over 24 hours?

A full-size Dometic motorhome absorption (3-way) fridge typically uses between 1.0 to 1.5 pounds of propane (approximately 350 to 470 grams) over a 24-hour period. [1, 2]

Gas Bottle Lifespan Estimations
To make this data more practical, a standard full-size fridge running continuously on gas will drain your tanks at the following estimated rates (assuming no other gas appliances are in use):
  • 6 kg Cylinder: Lasts about 13 to 17 days.
  • 9 kg Cylinder: Lasts about 19 to 25 days.
  • 20 lb Tank (4.7 gallons): Lasts about 13 to 20 days.

As we also heat up water for showers, cooking etc I would say two weeks or just over if we are lucky is pretty good for a 6kg bottle. Its fortunate that we tend to go on hookup when heating is required otherwise I would empty it in about four days tops I reckon.

A 6kg bottle will last
5 days in winter when using heating

14 to 17 days when mainly parked up.

18 to 22 days when travelling in the day,only stopping one night before moving on.

Individual owner's consumption figures are only really useful if they include the size of the M/Home, the thermostat setting for heating and hot water, and the periods of usage. We used roughly twice as much lpg in Spain from Dec 25 to late Feb 26 as we did in the previous Winter; but it was one storm after another, so external temperature was much lower, the weather kept us indoors for much longer, feeling much cooler/colder, and the lack of meaningful solar contribution meant we couldn't use the inverter+ induction hob for cooking

Pointless arguing about how much ga someone should use cos it completely depends on what they have and how they use it. That big Hymer Charlie has would go through a 13Kg bottle of gas in a Weeknd in Winter, Karen just had heating set constant at 26 degrees lol
 
It always make me laugh when someone else tells me I am wrong about how much gas i use . 🤣.
I have bought 11 ltr of gas since we go this van last Nov, stating tthe obvious the Truma diesel has made a big change to gas consumption
