No Propane

With the tankless water heater why don’t they make an rv with no propane? We stay at campgrounds and we like sewer and water. We live in our Jayco 3 months every winter. This way we would not have to fill our propane tank. Will they ever put in an electric stove. We took out our propane stove and put in a electric top range. Propane is expensive and a pain to get filled.

Oh they do, but you're talking a $2M Prevost diesel pusher. All electric, and gorgeous! It's something I dream to have in some other lifetime!

I sure do hope that you have a 50 amp trailer so you can run all your electric stuff.

Plenty of YouTube videos of RVers/Off Gridders who've eliminated their propane systems and replaced them with induction cooktops, electric compressor type refrigerators, electric or Webasto/Esbar water heaters, etc.
It seems they mostly due it due to worrying about propane leaks and some states banning use of propane devices while the vehicle is being driven.

I want my propane fridge back.. All electric is not for me. If you are in serviced campgrounds to me all that is is a motel pad where you drag in the room.

This 12v fridge is for the birds.. Solar panels with trees to power it?
I would like a propane powered A/C unit. Then we would not have to buy another genny

Our home is fueled by propane so we are quite used to it. No natural gas pipelines around. We do have a standby generator at home which gets frequent use.

How much run time are you getting on the 12v fridge setup before depleting the batteries?

We are fully charged at the end of genny hours at 8 and at 4 am the warning signal of low voltage wakes us up. The fridge is in night mode.
We have a 100 watt solar panel on the roof.

We only have the one OEM battery and obviously have to add a second better one and replace the first.

This will be a big problem in colder weather when the furnace has to run as lighting it requires power as well as the propane.

That definitely is a problem. I will be interested to hear how it compares once you upgrade the battery setup.
