LP or electric on a meter

Someday, we will be able to purchase GOOD RV heat pumps, ones that will produce heat down to zero F (like mini-split heat pumps that have been around for decades).

One more nail in the coffin for LP in an RV !

I have twin 40 Lb Tanks and those things are heavy when filled. I'll use electric every chance I get to avoid having to refill those beasts.

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.

Electric is easier, end of story
