how much do you think my power bill would be for this camper?

Question

I have a small camper Im going to cook up to a poll for power. I plan on running my air conditioner, tv, and maybe one light 5 hours out of the day.

Think my power bill would be under 50.00/month?

Answer 1

Take a look at the plates on the a/c and television... somewhere it will say either voltage and amperage or wattage. If you've got volts and amps, multiply the two together to get watts.



Add up the wattages of the light bulb, the a/c and the television. Multiply by the number of hours each will be on. Divide by 1000 to get kw/hr day. Multiply by days per month, and price per kw/hr.



e.g.: 100 W light 5 hrs/day

200 W tv 5 hrs/day

720 W a/c 5 hrs/day



1020 W x 5 hrs = 5100 Watt-hours = 5.1 KW-hrs per day x $0.14 per KWH = $0.71.4/day x 30 days = $21.42/month



Now that is ONLY the power consumed by those appliances. If you've got an electric stove, a refrigerator, a water heater.... don't forget to add those in.

Answer 2

Some interesting, valid points in the answers so far, and not at all knowing why you used the word COOK up, hopefully you meant HOOK up.



What you don't mention however are things like, the power exists, perhaps taken from your house? and this is like a singles apartment, on property? You also neglected to show us or at least mention the type of camper, and it's general qualities, IE: POP UP, camper trailer, etc.



I think if it was mine, I'd find a KOA and hook into all their offered facilities, but an AC in a camper??? If you intend it as a place to LIVE, and can get in for $50 a month for power, I'd say you should.

Answer 3

Is the electrical powered invoice all you're paying him? if so, you're getting a exceptionally sturdy deal and that i does no longer argue approximately it. once you're working the heater lots, it may desire to cost that lots. Campers are not properly insulated. how many hours an afternoon are you working the heater? whilst it is on finished, it is going to use as lots capacity as 15 100w gentle bulbs. Why do no longer you attempt to choose how many kilowatt hours of capacity you utilize, discover out what the fee in line with kilowatt hour is the place you reside, after which you will have some theory how lots the capacity you're employing is costing. I doubt that your grandfather is attempting to tear you off. If his invoice in the previous you lived interior the camper grow to be $134 and now it is $295, i might come to an identical end he has, and that i may be asking you for $161 for that electric invoice.

Answer 4

Depends on how efficient the AC unit is, how hot it gets, and how well insulated the camper is. They're generally not very well insulated, but it's a pretty small space you're cooling. I'd say that under $50 a month as reasonable (as long as the AC isn't running non-stop to keep the temp down).

Answer 5

Yes, some places have min fees so with all that included about $50. I believe you meant hook up. Lets hope you don't cook it.

Answer 6

I live in the south and knowing electric bills.. if you have a full time job and dont use any electricity, during normal working hours... I will guess low.. how about $500 a month. am I close? Average cost for me..in my small one bedroon apt, is $75 a day if I use my ac. no ac... it costs me 50 cents for my fridge, puter clocks electric stove, etc.



good luck and best wishes.
