I'm working with http://www.centuryfuelproducts.com to see if one of
their propane kits would be useable on my 4KW Onan.
I'll post again when I get any information. I would be interested to
hear if anyone else would be intested in this option. They offer two
way (LP/NG) and three way (lp/ng/gasoline) kits for many gas powered
generators and engines.

I'm really interested in the 6 kW conversion kit. I watched George Beckman's presentation at the GMCWS rally which was excellent. I've got a home standby generator I converted to propane years ago, and appreciate not having cans full of deteriorating gasoline around waiting for the "big one". I hae concerns about where to mount the regulator, and, if the 6kW unit will operate off low pressure propane w/o freezing the regulator. George mounted his regulator in the back of the battery compartment. Mine is stuffed w/ batteries all the way to the back.

LPG runs cleaner, both for environmental reasons and your crankcase oil will last longer.

After running our fleet vehicles on CNG, I can attest to a host of other drawbacks.
But, when it’s all said and done, I’m staying with CNG for the fleet.
I’ll have to see how this works out for the coach.

I'm waiting to see what they come up with. You do have a point thatit
is kinda tight where the current air filter is.
I ended up at the site because I have a couple of portable gen sets (a
2k Honda and a 6K Preditor) that I want the LP option for.
