As for being "run out of campgrounds", that would not be a problem for me. Any RV park or "resort" that would not allow a nicely done conversion on the premises is NOT a place I would be likely to stay anyway.
In the USFS or BLM or State campgrounds where I would be likely to want to stay a day or three, no problem. EVERYBODY is welcome, even (gasp) TENTERS!! I have even seen people there camping in (horrors!) unconverted cargo trailers!
The issues isn’t looks, it’s legalities.
As soon as you add 120 volt AC that plugs into the grid, or install a fixed propane system you must, by law, have the vehicle inspected, and the vehicle must bear proof (usually a RVIA seal) saying it meets NFPA 1192 standards.
For anyone to allow you to hook up would be both silly and illegal. Nobody is going to knowingly take that risk.
It seems to me we just recently went through this whole rigamarole. When asked to cite references to the actual rules, regulations, and statutes requiring any such inspections and certifications, nobody could come up with any that would forbid you plugging your homebuilt rig into the grid. If you know of such a law that says it is illegal to allow one to plug into the grid, or operate one's own propane system, please cite your reference.
IMO, if you know it is illegal, you must know the statute that says it is illegal.
Actually it’s been cited over so many States (life Safety reg’s are a State matter, not Federal) over so many years it would be hard to pick just one reference to quote, but since you’re from MT just a 30 second Google search brings me to MT Annotated Code Title 50, Health and Safety, Chapter 60: Building Construction Standards, Part 4, Factory-Built Buildings and Recreational Vehicles
Do I need to spoon feed you your own States Statutes? Surely you must know them.
Google is your friend..........
