Which is cheaper - propane or electric heat pump

For the first time we will be staying in a Arizona campground for 10 days that charges extra for electricity. Even when it drops down into the 30s at night we will only set the heat at 50. Then we will run the heat for a couple of hours in the morning after we get up.

The electric rate is $.13 per kwh. So, which is cheaper to operate propane furnace or electric heat pump?

    Search the posts. I know I've read that answer here before. Don't forget to factor in propane availability. If you start with a full tank, 10 days seems like a short enough time depending on size of tank(s), and size of RV.
