LP or electric on a meter
Hey everyone, I have a seasonal site where I have metered electric, so for fridge, heat and hot water, is LP or electric cheaper?

Good info everyone thanks. Great link too.
I'll do some calculations and go from there.
The inconvenience doesn't factor in, since my campground has propane fill and it's $25 for a 30#'er.
I assume you have permanently mounted tanks and they come to you with a truck. Otherwise there is a convenience factor. Even then you have to arrange for LP, pay for it and meet the driver to fill tank.
With electric there is no interaction. NONE.

I would assume portable propane cylinders
If the OP has portable tanks, than there is a convenience factor. Unless the CG changes the tanks for him for free, otherwise the OP has to physically put in the effort to swap the tanks.
