All electric coaches do not have propane and they are not really all electric...they have diesel and electric heating. The DW loves her portable induction cooktop (very efficient) and I do not remember when she has used the propane stove. Anytime you are going to use a high amp appliance you crank the diesel generator, partly to charge the batteries instead discharging them.
My BEST mod (should have done it sooner) is replacing my NoCold 1200 with a 21 cuft residential refrigerator that draws 1 amp AC or 8 amps DC (96 watts) when running less than half the time. These big rigs need 1-2 hours of generator time/day even without a residential so with enough added charging amps and two more batteries my generator run time has gone down.
