What you are describing is simply "eliminating propane".
As noted previously, agreed. I could have been more precise in the thread title.
Propane fittings in the US and Canada are the same (Don't know about Mexico), but that is emphatically not the case in Europe and much of South America. Depends on where you want to travel. (Same reason that I use a composting toilet, not a black tank. Those beasts are a bear to deal with outside of the US. Not because there is anything wrong with them, but because no one uses them.)
Beyond that, using diesel or gasoline for cabin heat can give you longer autonomy when traveling/camping.
Scholars can debate the safety of propane, but in most cases, it is not an issue. Especially if you do not use a propane refrigerator.
In the end it all depends on how you use your camper.
As noted here, many are convinced that you cannot build a camper without propane and a generator. You can, but you will need systems that are more robust than those on many production RV's.
Nice discussion by Rick Howe HERE.
