Barry, Cost of propane ($3.85) is today's price (per gallon) in Okeechobee (we paid $2.19 in Mesa, Az). Cost of electricity ($0.1206) is Florida state's average residential rate for 2009 (Arizona's average residential rate is $0.1134).
Average electric rates are easily available, or you can ask your seller (the local utility or your reseller if you are buying through a park). Propane prices appear only available anecdotally — I found no propane price lists available on the internet. Others may know a source for this.
I'm interested if anyone has measured their RV refrigerator's electrical consumption.
I used a 650 btu/hr maximum rate for propane for 7cf RV refrigerators, a rate I found on internet. You can back into this from the fridge's rating
I used 50% of the max rate as assumption of average running time, just a swag. Propane contains approx 92,000 btu per gallon.
Running time is approx = 0.5 X (92,000/650) = 70.7 hours per gallon
Thanks for your question and interest —
Jim
