Thanks for the input and support, folks. I am back to report yesterday we purchased a 2013 Roadtrek Ranger RT. To explain: The Ranger was designed to operate without propane. It has an electric water heater, an AC or DC compressor fridge, and an electric- or generator-run air conditioner with heat pump that will warm the space enough for my area. (Also, little plug-in ceramic heaters have their pluses.) Generator runs on same gasoline as engine. The Rangers were designed with an induction cooktop standard, but many were ordered with the optional propane stove so have burners in the galley counter (which mine does). No problem, there's a cover for those upon which my mail-order induction cooktop will sit nicely. To each his own! Now to embrace the learning curve ahead and plan some weekend trips to visit family self-sufficiently and--when free from family obligations--check out some local state parks too.
