it took us over two years of full timing before we got even close to needing more propane since we use Electric Heaters almost exclusively - the only other time is when we are not on shore power or generator and might use the furnace.

the sound of the furnace blower and the need for propane tanks and refilling is why so many coach builders are moving toward Electric Only coach designs. Propane certainly has a good purpose, especially if you like cooking with it, or you have easy access to refilling your tank, but it is becoming less of a standard in the rv industry, especially in higher end coaches where you have room for 8 or more coach batteries.

if you drycamp or boondock as a regular habit, propane makes sense because you only need electricity to run the blower, and you're less reliant on shore power, generator, or even solar.
