Do you ever wonder why?

We see all those car commericals on tv and I wonder why we dont see some of the RV industries advertising. Maybe its the cost of the advertising or the cost of fuel nowadays. southwestjudy

Anyone have an electric cook top? How much more Electricity does it use? If you are paying for your electric do you see an increase with this type of stove top? I have noticed that they are starting to put those in so many rigs now. Don't know if I really need it or just stay with the gas. Joe
