[a/s] Airconditioner Usage Question



Hello Listies! I have a question. I'm wondering if any of you could tell me 
what does it cost in an avarage to run your airconditioner for.....say, 5 
hours or ten hours per day. We have a Coleman Mach I.
All I really need is just a rounded up figure. At this point I have 
absolutely no idea. Is it in the 1s? 10s? 100s? 1000s? 10,000s?

Although we are full-timers we never stayed in a traliler park. We always 
hooked-up at friend's places, and they never cared how much electricity we 
use. It is not much anyway, because we have a solar panel to run all our 
appliances, except the airconditioner.

Currently we are parking behind a church. They are friends, but I do not 
want to take advantage of them. It is getting hot here (100-110), and we run 
the airconditioner about 5 hours per day. I would like to pay for the 
airconditioner usage, but I have no idea how much would be realistic and 
fair. We cannot calculate it just by checking the building's meter because 
it is a community building and their usage is always different from month to 
month.

Can any of you help me? Thank you!
