Earnie,
The chart above from Evergreen Resort is using 27 Killowatt hours of electricity for 1 gallon of propane. This is the same # I have used in past calculations.
In past years when I was in Oklahoma, elec was +/- $.08 KWH, propane >$3.25; so electricity was the clear choice.

I'm now in NO Cal now & PGE has 4 rates ranging from $.1318 per KWH for up to 394 hours.......$.29965 per KWH over 512 hours
Fortunately, propane is plumbed to each site at a cost of $2.57 a gallon, so propane is the clear choice.
Diesel is $4.25 so I'm glad I don't have an Aqua Hot.

I might be in the one location where the old coach works better!
