Hi Alistair,
I know I’m probably in the minority but I’m still a fan of propane. I like cooking with gas in or out of the van, I like the flexibility of my old three way refrigerator. And, I plan to at a propane heater.
I think solar and battery are great, and I think they are getting better quickly. Someday I may want to change over but I’m still very happy with my set up.
And when the old fridg. Starts up I can’t help but smile.
Still in 10 years or so I might be getting some good advice on updated electric units to fit into my beloved westy.
I might be ready for electric stove top, fridge, heater, electric bed warmer, cooling heat pump, and electric power plant.
But, I’m keeping my original Beep Beep horn!
Eric
