Hi, first yr on seasonal pitch, just woulnderd if people run on gas or electric. I pay 19p a unit on electric.
& run 6kg propane bottle, I’ve got a unicorn Seville, Alde heating system, I’ve just been away for 6 nights
Run mostly on gas, I know you can’t really tell until colder weather comes when start using the heating system.   

Is it cheaper to run on gas or electric, have just used gas for hot water when needed, & fridge.

One kg of propane is stated as containing 12.87 kWh of energy.https://www.bing.com/search?q=kwh+in+kg+of+propane&form=ANNTH1&refig=11d537ae64694........

A 6 kg Calor propane has a suggested price of £22.85 + VAT,
https://www.bing.com/search?q=Calor+6+kg+bottle+price&form=ANNTH1&refig=9847100dc4........ so £24.
Though retailers can charge whatever they want, and some really are charging way more than £24.

Therefore gas energy price, using a 6 kg Calor bottle is, £24 / [12.87 x 6] =£0.311, ie 31 pence per kWh.

I would be opting for that electricity at now the very generous 19 pence per kWh.

electric might not be cheapest soon, the seasonal site im on used to charge 20p a unit but it has gone up to 42p a unit with an appology from the owner about the rise, mind you we have heard that other local sites are charging more than that, as it was the topic of conversation this last week when i was there. Mind you think of the saving on fuel from not having to tow the van plus not having to pay increasing nightly rates through the year for casual booking.
For once i think i was ahead of the curve by finding a seasonal site i like and getting on it
