Has anyone done this conversion on a Onan 4K and what was the cost and where did you find the best price on parts needed. Thanks John

Mr. Wizard, there are numerous 5vers with Onan propane fueled generators in the U.S. No telling how many are sitting in Quartzsite, AZ.as I type this.
do these 5evers use 20# portable cylinders/bottles
or do they have frame mounted tanks ?
class A , i have seen with LP gennys, all have frame mounted tanks, so they more fuel capacity, my DP carried over 100# of LP, that is still only 20+ gallons and not as quick and easy to come by as gasoline
and 3 days of 100+ temps required an LP refill
apparently this is NOT the OPs concern, but it is for many other people
Of course wintering in Q, Az one does not really Need A/C
just the ability to use cooking appliances and recharge batteries
it helps to keep things in perspective
as for the OP, it seems his main concern was in NOT using his genny,
and the carb being gummed up and the fuel going bad, when he did want to use it
(2) things that are fairly easy to avoid, without changing over to LP
i hope smokestack provides him the info he is seeking
