Electric elements and propane flame provide roughly the SAME heating provided both are operating correctly
Propane is a bit quicker at beginning but both work same provided cooling unit functions properly
If cooling unit has any internal obstructions then overall cooling will be affected regardless of heat source
If dry camping/boondocking then best source would be propane vs AC
If on FHU then AC would be better option due to site fee already includes AC
While in transit.....either but AC if running generator for A/C Cooling then AC for fridge
