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?
