natural gas propane conversion ?

[David0725]

My Sister in law just bought at new TT that she will be living in. only 2 propane tanks in the front. Doesnt last very long. what about converting to natural gas? she does have natural gas on the property.

Sis-in-Law needed to do a little...a lot...more planning/learning/research before buying a TT for full time living. Two propane tanks in the front? Haven’t seen anything else in...ever.

When we were at an RV park in Oklahoma City there were a bunch of permanent residents with 100 gallon/420lb tanks in front of their trailer. I assume a service comes by every X days and tops them off in the winter.

Yes just a larger propane tank would be the fix. If electric is less expensive she could also use space heaters. It expensive to fill the little bottles if she has a tank set by a propane supplier it will probably cost her about 1/3 or less per gallon than the little tanks.

Typically you will need to change the regulator and/or the gas orifices.

First, I would contact the gas company to see if RV appliances can be changed to natural gas.

An alternate approach is to have a large propane tank connected and filled as needed. That is what us country folks do.

Good luck.

Have her buy or rent a large tank and arrange with a local gas supplier to check and fill it regularly. In FL maybe monthly would work. In cold (lower than 35) 25 gallons should last a week.

I dont think the appliances have replacement parts to convert.
Another option is to get a larger tank and have it automatically refilled monthly by a service.
