The propane is also more efficient but if your electric to keep the batteries charged is free (like while driving) this would be a moot point. If you are on shore power you would be on 120V so we are really only talking about dry camping during periods without external power and for that situation the only thing that makes sense (to me....no flames, please.) is propane.
