When we go away in our motorhome we always heat the van and cook using bottled gas, even when we're paying for an electric hook-up, as we are doing this weekend in Dorset. Any electrically operated kit is minimised in terms of usage, although we've never had low battery issues (I installed twin 110Ah leisure batteries).
No more! We've decided to go electric with an electric kettle, a small microwave, a fan heater and an IKEA induction hob, the latter having arrived earlier in the week and is now being used.
It just doesn't make sense to be paying upward of £5 a night for electricity we never use while also paying for bottled gas.
The kettle and microwave can be easily jettisoned from the van before leaving, should we be headed for a site lacking electricity hook-up or going off-grid in a farmer's field. The induction hob has a retractable handle built into it that enables it to be hung on a wall when not in use.
A slow cooker might also come in handy for enabling us to have a hearty, hot dinner after long walks away from the van during the day.
