Cost difference of propane vs electricity
Wish to find out which might be cheaper to operate when outside temps are the same. Electricity cost at .17c per KW. Hot water heater, (Atwood 10 gal. GC 10A-4E) is on only when needed, can be used ...

I'm assuming the OP is asking for the numbers when he is using the RV at home, where he has to pay for the electricity. If you were at a CG, your paying for the electricity as part of the lot fee, so it doesn't matter how much you use, it's been calculated into equation. I would use electricity when at the CG.
For when at ho, or boondocking, I think I'd go with the propane....unless you are going to be sitting a long time, and have to deal with refills.
Most RV parks charge for electricity separately if staying more than a week.
