There are places charging that much per day for water! Most of us don’t have natural gas. My electricity runs around $110 to $230 per month depending on the temp, with either the AC or the heat turned on 24/7. That’s about, what, $4 to $7 a day?
SECO is a co-op and we find their electric rates much better than Duke energy, which is not. Unless the house is gas, which we do not care for, find out which electric company supplies your prospective home.

If you decide to buy a CYV, I suggest you buy a 2 car garage one, or a 2 plus golf cart, with both having a straight driveway.

Don’t know how large your dog is, but there is quite a bit of wildlife here. A CYV is not a safety zone from bobcats or birds of prey
