Was this for November? First part of November was warm and we ran the A/C part of the first couple of weeks. Still, our Nov bill was $57 in Lake Havasu City. We were running under 20KWH/day.

So much depends upon how warm/cool you keep your coach, how you are facing the sun (or not), etc.

Thanks all for input.

Check with CG what they are charging per kwh
Read your own meter and then you can figure if they are correct or overcharging.

IF it is a multi dial meter (vs digital) read right to left writing the numbers down right to left also



This one reads 6-5-2-3-7

884kwh.......

If you used that much at home you probably wouldn't even question it.

You are using a lot of energy.....everything on electric plus that old electric fridge in shed.

Pretty cheap for what you are enjoying.

$116/884kwh = about 13c kwh. Definitely reasonable.

884kwh/30day = about 30 kwh/day. Roughly averaging you are running things that amount to 1,000 watts each hour of the 24 hour day. If you're heating with electric, and it's been cold, I would think your heaters are drawing a lot more than 1,000w. And heating water takes a lot too. So I'd say that's about right.

Bill shows 884 kWh. No washer or dryer but everything else is on electric including a refrigerator in the shed.

For me that would be pretty high, but it depends I guess on:

• How much do you pay per KW;
• Do you pay a monthly set connection fee, if so how much? and,
• How many KW did you use in the month?

Where I am I pay .08 per KW, no set monthly fee, and burn up $30-50/month for power. Others are as low as $18/month, but I think their meter is broken :h

We pay 16.5 cents a KWH where we are in Yuma. As said there are many variables in the bill. Is there a meter reading charge? Do you let lights on or have decorative lighting? An RV refer on electric isn't very efficient, if running an electric heater or your heat pump this will run up the bill. Also what many folks over look is the 12 volt converter hooked to dead battery constantly trying to charge that battery. Our bill for Nov. 8 thru Dec. 8 was $16.32 which included a $2.00 meter reading charge. Of course we have solar, and use propane for refers and heating. There is so much that can affect that bill. There are several people in this park that have bills at your rate. Also if you have a diesel motorhome, make sure your block heater isn't running. I have seen this several times in the last several seasons.

Has been colder than Normal!

What is the cost for one kwh? That should be on your bill. Then we can figure how much you use per day, and if it's reasonable.

And, as said, lots of variables. If you heat with electric then yeah, it'll be high because of the cold weather.
