You betcha...... We converted an 87 GL to a westy, including the propane
tank system a couple of years ago, and it's a pretty easy job!

Just requires some holes drilled in the floor. 2 of the holes lined up
with existing studs in the frame even! We used electricians duct puddy
to fill the holes after the pipes are ran through the floor.

Be sure to have your tank checked out by a reputable propane place
before installing. Safety first! One thing though, everytime we pull
into a gas station to get the propane filled, everyone bitches cuz it's
under the bus. You may just find the portable is easier, and better
accepted!
