The "Gap Fill" rate strategy is a special rate which is only allowed if less than a certain number of consecutive nights have availability. It will work between days with zero availability.  
If you have minimum stays you can use an additional "gap filler" rate to close gaps. A minimum stay and a maximum stay will narrow the gap. Bookings are only possible for the number of days defined  by the min and max stay and only if there is a booking gap. If you have a room type with several units, this is only the case if only one is free which has a gap and all the others are occupied.


The maximum number of consecutive nights allowed for the rate to be active is set by the maximum stay setting.
To use a rate a "Gap Fill" set "Restriction Strategy" = "Gap Fill ("Summary tab of your RATE)
 
To use a rate a "Gap Fill" set "Restriction Stragegy" = "Gap Fill ("Summary tab of your RATE)
 
Maximum stay defines the maximum stay and also the maximum number of nights the gap must have.
