Gas vs electric cost calculation?
If you are paying for your own electric, when does it pay to use gas instead? Is there a formula? Thanks!

I don't know about RV's. But, in my area you just can't afford to heat your home with electric. Propane is much cheaper.
Two big differences though are, first a typical furnace in the S & B is 85 - 90% efficient, in an RV I doubt you'd get much more than 65 - 70% efficiency. The other is price of fuel, in the S & B you're paying by the metered gallon, in an RV (unless you rent a big tank) you're paying by the pound, a notoriously expensive way to do it.
