Thanks everyone for your thoughts. There is a possibility that there will be electric on site. I hope! There was electric in the original rv parking. The new owner it's rebuilding the whole base area so I'm hopeful that there will at least be power. I can always go to the rv park in town if it gets too cold. Also if propane cost becomes an issue it can't be as bad as 500/month rent can it? anyway keep the coming, I really appreciate it.
Having electric is a must for keeping the batteries up, as the 12vdc furnace motor will deplete them in short order. You'll also need some light bulbs or low wattage heat in some of the basement areas and especially in the vicinity of the water tanks. Having an electric heating element in the hot water tank will help with some propane usage, too. Naturally, you'll be able to run the fridge on 120vac as well. Probably won't have a lot of use for an inverter, unless you are without electric and then some big solar panels could be useful.
