Propane of Electric to heat H2O whilst Full-Time
I live full-time in my 5th wheel. With that in mind, do you guys use propane or electric to heat your water. Suggestions and why please. Thanks guys, David

The membership CG we stay at in Texas charge $3 per day surcharge for a spot with 50 amp capability.
While on 30 amp, the water heater has a nasty habit of kicking on when the microwave, toaster or coffemaker is running, which trips a breaker. (No, my rig does NOT have an internal on/off switch for WH electricity.) At few times a year, we do not have the option of 50 amp.
We have never, ever, spent $90 per month on propane, even during a winter month when the temp dropped below freezing almost every night.
So when on 30-Amp, we use propane, and the wife complains about the cost of propane while electricity is 'free'.
Now, for AC in the hot part of the year, I'll pay the fee and we run the WH on electricity.
