Here is some useful information to get you started on the search. Note the
legal implications. On a recent rip to Ohio, I needed propane for the motor
home. I had to sign an affidavit stating that it was not being used as a
motor vehicle fuel. Other wise I would have to pay the road use and sales
taxes. This was at a Flying J.

I've been pondering the propane conversion for a while. I've always thought
that two long skinny tanks running the length of the van and replacing the
existing stove and fridge tank would be ideal. But then I understand that
compressed natural gas may be a better option for the conversion AND I
already have natural gas piped right into my garage. All I need is a
compressor which the make. Now comes the problem with the appliances. Could
they run on CNG? What kind of conversion would be needed for that?
