all-electric Clipper

When I bought my '78 Clipper three years ago, it had two propane tanks - one in the built-in compartment on the right side of the coach, and the other under the driver's side of the cab.  The engine had run on propane at some time in the past - I assume it came from the factory this way.  The tanks were rusty, and there was always a faint propane smell inside the vehicle.  We'd had some misfortune with propane many years ago, and we decided the propane had to go.
  I removed both tanks and all the lines and controls; as well as the water heater, kitchen stove, refrigerator, and furnace.   These were replaced with electric kitchen appliances, an electric water heater, and an electric furnace which utilizes the original fan, furnace housing and ducting.  If anyone is interested in more information on this conversion, I will gladly supply details.  - uncleleroy

Hi Uncleleroy.  I think an all-electric AC is a wonderful idea!  If you would like to share tips and details about your conversion, I'm sure the info would be useful to many of us.  Thank you very much.
