Many RVs with propane can stop overnight w/o electric in spite of poor RV insulation... Others might just leave the RV in FL or TX.
Propane furnaces offen draw a lot of 12v power for both the ignition system and the fan. I am leery about waking up in the middle of the night to find we have a dead house battery. Plus when on electric the refrigerator will shift from propane to that power source.
Funny you should mention leaving the full-size RV trailer in the warmer climate - that is exactly what we do. However, hotels were always a pain when travelling with a dog and two cats, and have become even more difficult to find and reserve. We tow a 21' self-contained camper as a 'rolling hotel room' between the two destinations. Further, we use the camper for 'weekend trips' at both north and south locations.
