My electricity charges are £0.64 per kWh before the government discount which may or may not be continued.

Where does £0.34 per kWh come form?

That throws the whole calculation out.

---

Isn't the cost of a kwh capped at about £0.34. Anyone read that Centrica owner of BGAS have posted their biggest profits ever.

You may need more ventilation with gas to avoid condensation.

Why do you think that condensation will be any different if using gas instead of EHU in a caravan?

Fumes from the gas burning should be dispersed to the outside. Heat level is regulated by the occupier and it is heat meeting cool surfaces that causes condensation.

Sites (and other Landlords) are leagally required not to add a mark up and must sell the units at the 'rate they pay'. I think meters are a better way to do this if it has to be done at all. I am not keen on the prepaid cards that some sites sell, for example £5 per top up card, as there is no transparancy as to the kWh unit price you have to pay. With a meter at least it is clear. My site has just started charging 36p per kWh which they say is their buy in rate.

Many legal ways around this restriction i.e. £10 extra per night for EHU etc.

That is exactly what most sites seem to do these days. Absolute rip-off! Charging per night more than most people would use in 2 weeks.

If cost per kwh is a minimum of £0.70p for a commercial site that means you need to be using only 1.42kwh per day. Probably not even enough to cook your dinner once a day in the microwave?

Apart from the actual cost, I consider electric heating to be safer as there is no risk of nasty fumes.

Not sure where the fumes would come from. At the very worst; the old fires used to smell if they hadnt been used in a while. But that was on gas or leccy. If you have an appliance thats kicking out 'fumes', it wants checking.
