Removing propane appliances
I am planning on full timing in our TT, it is 10 years old, I am considering removing propane and going total electric, I have a fear of propane especially heating and sleeping, any feed back would be appreciated.

What about the fridge? I assume you're planning on FHU sites with electric or running genny? How will you keep food cold during travel if you have total electric?
Workable but probably more expensive and could cause some issues between stops.

It can and has been done. I have seen totally electric RV's too. Biggest thing is making sure you have enough amperage for your electrical appliances. On a 30 amp rig you may be pushing it, with a 50 amp you will have more capacity.
You need to add up the draw of all the planned electrical appliances and see what can be run when and with what.

My TT will be stationary, but mobile if necessary.Since I posted this I have made a few decisions, I removed the gas stove and furnace and will put a 20 " wide electric range in its place. I am going to have a mini split unit for heat and air with the TT air conditioner as a back up. It will be total electric TT, tiny house, aprox.300 square feet.

electric ranges that I know about are 220... you will need an electrician to wire an outlet for it near the stove and possibly rework your fuse panel...
my fridge will stay pretty cold for 24-36 hours unplugged, especially if I freeze water bottles in the top freezer compartment prior to traveling

The new range and mini split will both be 230v so the will have to be on circuits by themselves, with disconnects mounted to the outside of the TT, but it will free up some of the 30 amp service for other uses inside, and would keep from flipping breakers.

Replace Dometic refrigerator with a electric Magic Chef refrigerator, had to reframe opening because the new fridge was a little smaller.
