Is the propane powered fridge still inefficient if you consider the inefficiency of generating electricity in a big power plant from natural gas or coal? These are 30 to 40% efficient. The gasoline or propane generator will be considerably less efficient than that.
I am pretty impressed at how long the RV fridge runs on 20 pounds of propane. It makes quiet boon docking possible.
What else about RVs is efficient? The water use of the RV toilet is a few times more efficient than a residential one.
