Actually there is another drawback: they burn a LOT of propane. Our previous motorhome had a 6.2 KW propane unit (gas was rated at 6.5KW). In one five day period, not running 24 hrs a day we used two 10 gallon tanks and most or our onboard 40 (32 usable) gal tank. Will never have one again.
Not sure why your experience. It's a known fact that propane is only slightly less efficient than gasoline and all things being equal should burn only slightly more than the same equipment powered by gasoline (~10%). With propane being about $1.00 cheaper than gasoline, dollar wise your are far ahead with propane and with all the other advantages, there is no contest. Propane wins hands down over gasoline. Perhaps you had a propane leak or your system was not adjusted properly????
