Class C without boondocking amenities

I'm not sure what your goal is in searching for a propane-less RV. If it is to save money, and assuming you could find such an RV, you'd have a heck of a time selling it. I'm not even sure you could give it away. If it is to just live an amazingly rugged life style then just don't fill the propane tank.
On the other hand you could just go with the flow, use the fridge to keep your beer, submarine sandwiches and ice cream cold (parking lots are plenty level enough for the fridge), and have a hot shower occasionally. I've had my RV for 3 years and have only refilled the propane once. I rarely use the stove top but I use the hot water heater, the fridge, and sometimes the furnace.

So in other words you plan on 'stealth' camping.......no CGs. Parking lots only
No electric hook ups. Basically a vagabond----slumming

So it would sound like PROPANE would be beneficial

I'm sorry, I wasn't very clear. I meant to say that I'll be staying at Walmart overnight when I'm on the road between destinations. My destinations will have full hook-ups and local internet

The more dry camping, in your case, the more Wallydocking you do the more you'll need your propane appliances. Going without a fridge is nuts. What benefit are you going to derive by getting rid of your propane appliances?

Pretty spartan living. Presuming your post isn't a put-on, I think I'd keep the propane system in case you miss butter, eggs, meat, pop, beer, milk, ice, salad, juice, mayonnaise...

It's usually not difficult to find level spots in WM. And there's no law saying you can't use a leveling block.

I have a small butane stove that I can use while on the road. I'm thinking I'll just cut out foods that need to be refrigerated. I'll be staying mostly at Walmart parking lots overnight and you're not allowed to level your RV there, which may be necessary to run the fridge safely without damaging it.

I'm not aware of any class C's, particularly smaller ones, that are "all-electric" (which, for RVs, basically means no propane; often there's a diesel fueled heating and hot water system in so-called all-electric RVs).

I think you may be misjudging how little you'll need propane. The stovetop is propane only; are you planning to cook only with a microwave? The water heater, if it has an electric element, is quite slow heating on electric only. The furnace is propane only, though electric space heaters or heat strips in the air conditioner can be used in relatively mild but cool temperatures to keep things warm. That much, at least, may be entirely practical in some parts of the country (including Texas).
