I toyed with the idea of going all electric but ran into a couple of stumbling blocks....one in particular is almost insurmountable. My wife really likes cooking with the gas cook top. At one point I brought up the idea of replacing the gas cook top with an induction unit and was told quite bluntly that if I want to do the cooking I can have whatever I want.
Since my propane tank typically needs to be refilled every couple of year I could not use that as an excuse.
The other issue is how to live on 30 amp power which happens occasionally and our Marquis is enough of a power hog as it is and I have to turn off one AC compressor, the Inst-hot, put the fridge on gas and etc. If I went to more AC appliances it would only get worse.
Dry camping I still have to run the genset for morning and evening meals so it makes no difference if it's 10 KW or a small portable..still have to run one. Seems silly to have another.
