Van Conversion / On board fuel
March 21, 2018, 11:02:07 PM
Hey Guys,

I am in the process of designing my first conversion. I was thinking about fuel sources and was wondering what people's thoughts were. I like the idea of a single fuel source, be it electrical appliances run from battery and alternator / solar panels. The other alternative I was considering was diesel cook top, diesel water heater and space heaters.

The former is reasonably priced but I am not sure how practical it is. The latter seems to be more practical but also super expensive. What is the conventional wisdom on multiple power sources.

Is the diesel appliance worth the expense?
Is LPG that big of a pain to install and maintain?
What about LPG fueled vehicles?
