Also factor in the hassle of replacing the tank every couple weeks if running on propane.
Love the ability to have the fridge run when off the grid but once plugged in, so much easier to just use the electric.
People NEVER factor in the cost of going to get the LP tanks refilled. NOT the cost of the LP, but the cost in gasoline of driving your vehicle to the LP store and back. THAT negates any supposed cost savings on electricity. IF the RV CG offers LP, THAT LP is usually higher in cost than the local LP store, just like Marina Fuel for boats cost more. Doug
