In addition to the improvements made in the electric systems with the upgrade mentioned three posts ago, I also switched the Honda 2200i generator from gas to propane. Once we sold the truck and now travel with the Sequoia we no longer have an open bed where I was comfortable with the storing of a 2 gallon gas can and the generator. Not so much inside the Toyota. I looked at several ways to address this and every option was $400 or more and less than ideal. Then I stumbled on a YouTube video about about a conversion for the Honda. Of course, it too cost $400. But it appeared to be a good solution. So I began the education process: what were the downsides, was it safe, did it create unexpected problems, what if you did not like it etc. In doing do I found no red flags and located a different company, Hutch Mountain, that offed a kit for about $240 with a coupon from an RVer. After watching a couple of installs, I ordered the kit. The install was straightforward and for me easy because I enlisted my grandson, Kellen, who is mechanically strong. It took less than an hour. It now runs on propane and if an emergency arose you can still use gasoline. Next order of business is to get an adaptor for the rear propane stub on the Oliver so I don’t have to carry extra propane but can use the tanks already installed with the trailer. Excited about this addition that with the upgrade on the power will keep us off the grid a lot longer and more often.

Two differences on the outside, the propane connection and the new sticker that Hutch Mountain provided. Nice touch.
The install was the tube on the right from the propane connection and a gasket behind the black part on the upper left.
Ready to close things back up.
