We usually camp without hook-up, using battery only. Hot water heater and fridge both work well on propane.
We have long hours of daylight in the north in summer so don't use too many lights inside. Even when we're 'South of 60' and using the RV lights, or winter camping here, our two 6-volt batteries last 3-4 days without being charged. Most of that usage would be fridge & furnace.
Some campgrounds in the north offer only 15A, especially those that make their own electricity via a generator. Some shut down their generators at night to preserve fuel. So best to get comfy using batteries and propane.
