Just saw a presentation about lithium mining in Nevada. There are currently 42 prospects and about 25 proposed mine plans going throught the environmental review process.
I will be using lithium batteries this week for the first time.

I do have to say I used to believe there was nothing better than gas for cooking. However, we now have an induction cooktop and it's far superior to gas. In the Summer it doesn't heat up the coach with all that heat/flame that wraps around the pans and the control of the heat is faster and easier. I hate electric cooktops but an induction cooktop is a totally different animal.

When camping, we almost never cook inside the camper. Always on a BBQ. It's camping, not living in an apartment I guess that is also why we don't like a typical RV park or RV campground but prefer boondocking. I will push back very hard to buy a propane fridge on my next rig. If I had an onboard gen, I might feel different. But will always need propane.
By the way, use propane for heat, hot water, and stove at home.

But I bet the average full-timer BBQs a higher percentage of days than the percentage of RVs used full time.
And from what I have seen, most full-timers spend nearly every night on full-hookup site
Looks like most RVs are used buy people that go out for weekend, and maybe couple weeks a year. All electric, with enough battery to last couple nights would work good for this. No surprise building for most. Add solar, work for more. If that plan doesn't work for you, might keep what you got.

If it was my job to cook at home, I would BBQ every day there as well...

I thought this was a thread about all electric RVs.

Not sure what all the brands are they carry,but he said he's noticing a trend for 2024 units that some manufacturers are not offering propane appliances. The units have 120/12 volt refridgerators and electric range tops and water heaters. I guess that's ok if you always have electric hookups and the electric never goes out.
More and more people only camp where there are full hook ups.

Any data to support this? Most people have camped with hookups for decades. If anything solar, cheap generators and other features have made it easier to boondock.
I'd say it's moving in the other direction if anything.
