I'm just curious and it's a difficult topic to search the archives for.

Has anyone here done it? What's the consensus? Propane conversion is mentioned in the tongue-in-cheek thread "you'll get 8 to 10 MPG depending on whether or not you pull a toad"

I believe LP and NG power will take off in the coming years, right after the economy recovers and gas goes back to $4/gal.

My revcon really does have just 26K miles evenly spread out over 37 years so it might be a good candidate.

Likewise, the guys on the Old Engine forum say my original Onan CCK is a great engine and worth converting to propane.

I don't think my travels will ever see the real mountains on the West Coast so if there is a power loss I can live with it.
