1.Your resale value of your motorhome is very low due to age
2. Since you plan to keep the RV and replace the genset, going LP will make your RV almost zero in value when you decide to sell
3. LP Gensets are the WORST for any RV Towable or Motorhome. They burn about 50 percent MORE liquid than a Gasoline Genset. Since the largest LP tank on a Gas or Diesel motorhome is at best 25 gallons liquid, you have about 20 hours of running on a tank of LP and this does NOT include running the other LP appliances
4. LP Gensets are also prone to LP regulator oil gum ups. The LP regulator for the Genset, not your coach LP regulator.
5. Running a GAS Genset on the road will pull no more than 1 gallon per hour at full load and odds are you will be pulling about 50 percent load
6. Running an LP Genset on the road will be depleting the LP very fast and you will have NO LP when you get to the CG. Doug
