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

we're not fulltime but we run mostly on electric, even when we're on sn electric meter. i prefer to conserve our propane as much as possible.

I have plenty of propane available. My concerns are more geared towards what is less problematic in the long run.

problematic in what sense? why would you have problems with either one? Does your rig allow you to pick either one or both at the same time?

I use electric when it is included in the price of the campground. I use propane when electric is not included and propane is readily available. I only turn on the water heater about 30 minutes before I plan to shower or wash clothes. Normally stays hot enough the rest of the day.
