In order to determine if it's cheaper to run on electric vs propane you need to know two things that are specific to YOUR location -
1. Propane cost/gallon. Check several places, including hardware stores, and a local propane distributor.
2. Electricity KWH cost. Ask the CG/park what rate they charge.
I've seen a formula which allows you to plug in the info you've found and it will then tell you whether it's cheaper to use propane or electricity. Search for it, or maybe someone can post it.
Biggest electricity hogs - air conditioners, electric heaters, electric hot water heaters, clothes dryers. Microwave ovens use a lot but they only run for short periods of time.
I've 'heard' that TVs consume lots of electricity.
Your furnace will use lots of propane, but usage will depend on outside temps so it may not be much if in Florida, for example.
The hot water heater also uses lots of propane (as compared to a stove top burner). Maybe don't leave it on all the time. Same idea if it is running on electric.
If electricity is expensive it may be worthwhile for you change out your interior lighting to LED bulbs. They consume much less electricity, are WAY cooler (saves on AC), and last forever.

Reason for asking.:
December electric = $42
January electric = $152
Same campground, same weather pattern.
I feel meter is incorrect. How can I prove it?
