here is what i used to go by, and the advice I offer
check you AC voltage reading in the hot afternoon with the A/C on and the fridge ON and Everbody else in the park is home and doing the same thing
also check the temp inside the fridge
if you have 115v and the fridge is properly cold
go ahead use electric if you want
my preference was always use LP,
it provides the same heat to the system and the same amount of fridge cooling 'all the time' no matter what the electric voltage is
the few cents difference in LP or electric, the LP dealer or the park
mean nothing to me, i want that fridge cold
and if voltage is low, and its hot outside, the LP will make it colder than electric
like i said 'i used to do'
we have a 120v residential compressor fridge, now.. no choice but electric, but it only needs 100w not 325w
and we make our own electricity
