Does anyone out there have an all electric coach,I'm looking in to trading for a 42',that is all electric. My main concern is hot water, and its power consumtion. The coach has a 10 gal water heater, heated by electric, motor aid, and the Hurricane. My hurricane currently runs through the water heater, but only warms the water up, and does not make it hot, need to use propane or electric, to get it hot. All info would be appreciated.

Prevosts are all electric. Quite a bit more $$$ but you can get into a used Prevost a few years old for $350-$500K. We have 2 inverters and 4-8 8d batteries depending on converter. In fact last year I changed out my 3000 watt inverters to 4000 watt. Had to drop from 8 bateries to 6 batteries but with rewiring we can now operate any 2 of our roof airs while driving and dry-camping. Note: when dry camping I usually leave only 1 a/c on and of course generator on automatic mode. It makes it nice at nite to be able to go to sleep with an a/c on and/or know that if you leave a pet in the coach when hot the a/c will keep them cool. Our hot water is heated by motor- air while driving, electric from campground or generator and (with CC) Webasto system (other converters use similar heaters). We have plenty of hot water since there are 2-10 gallon tanks.
