Is the concern over propane the fact that it's under pressure? Or is
there some other concern?

I ask because I'm going towards propane, mainly because I see it as a
plentiful fuel resource that's pretty easy to deal with and clean
(from the messiness aspect not the emissions aspect).

Cheers,
Harry

Buy an illegal, direct copy of a product developed over many years by a good German company (Espar), one that carries no warranty and barely any support from the sellers. If one already has a gasoline engine and tank installed, why not support a legit company that sells a superior [gas-fired] product with full warranty and support in the USA - Webasto? If a 4kw version is desired for larger vans, the choices then expand to include Espar (whose design the Chinese stole).
