A coffee percolator will work on a propane stove. Makes great coffee! There are propane refrigerators and freezers and even propane toilets. (I don't recommend the propane toilet...Yuk!)

Solar cells charging golf cart batteries will give you low voltage dc. All kinds of fixtures and appliances are made to run on dc voltage on boats. Add an inverter for modest 120 volt ac power.

However you will need to alter you lifestyle. Take up reading instead of TV etc. Some people love it (not me).
