Electric Appliances Save You $$$

Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) is what we full time RV'ers try to conserve. Lots of things can run off of propane in RV's including the refridgerator, stove/oven, heater, water heater and even the generator. One of the ways to conserve your LPG is to use as many electric appliances as you can. I rarely use the stove unless I am boondocking (dry camping - withoug hook-ups). Instead I use electric appliances like the coffee pot, microwave, electric heater, crock-pot, electric pot and electric skillet. I use the pot and skillet almost every day. I particularly like the pot because it has a vegtable steamer and I like the safety break away magnetic cord. We also switch the refridgerator and water to electric when in a campground with hook-ups. By using appliances we conserve on LPG to the point that we only refill the tanks every three months or so. When we first started RV'ing we were filling the LPG tanks every few weeks. At campgrounds you have already paid for the use of the electricity, so use it and save $$$. Jim
