More info on my Propane / Gas former '77 Palm Beach:
Although I had thre propane alternative I only drove with it operating a couple of times to see if it worked. I was told by the PO it was on the coach when he bought it. The first owner that he bought it from had installed it due to the Gas crises in the '70s. The MH was used to travel between MI and Utah where he had a Mining Business. Propane was readily available to him so it made sense. That was the era where you could drive somewhere but were never sure you could get fuel to return, the propane power would insure you could get home, maybe!
The availability of Propane never occurred. I recall visiting the Surplus Store in Forest City IA where Winnebago Industries are built in the '80s they had dozens of left over Propane conversions for a fraction of the original cost. Winnebago was expairementing and perhaps installed them on their MHs. That was the time of their GMC like rear engine ill fated Spectrum 2000 Motor Home. There is a post by me and a photo here:

Too bad it was neat.
