Gas vs electric cost calculation?
If you are paying for your own electric, when does it pay to use gas instead? Is there a formula? Thanks!

Two big differences though are, first a typical furnace in the S & B is 85 - 90% efficient, in an RV I doubt you'd get much more than 65 - 70% efficiency. The other is price of fuel, in the S & B you're paying by the metered gallon, in an RV (unless you rent a big tank) you're paying by the pound, a notoriously expensive way to do it.
4.2 pounds per gallon of propane.
Propane is sold by the gallon.
Portable cylinders are weighed when being filled (20#/30#/40#) and you are charged by metered gallon
I have never been charged by the pound....weighed yes but charged by gallon
