Hey guys. So I have my 1986 Escaper here and the previous owner has seemed to have bypassed the gas and converted into electric. But i cant seem to get it to work. I would like to go back to propane but want any knowledge of converting these to electric. The electric heater has to be plugged into AC and the button to turn it on is under the sink. My questions are, Can i turn this back into a gas heater? Or should i just go ahead and get a new water heater all around.

Like many ideas I have, once I commit, I question "whatever was I thinking"?! Example: 1984 Toyota Escaper. I have some lofty trips in mind - Chico, Ca to Seattle - Chico to Mesa, AZ, Chico to Geneva, NY, etc, etc. But is it really a good idea to push my old Escaper like that? It has 87,000 miles on a 4 cyl 22RE engine with automatic transmission, good tires, new battery, radiator hoses, valve adjustment, all appliances and generator work, the bed is comfy, I figured about 14 mpg last time I checked, but is this more of a 200 mile triper, rather than 2000 mile triper? I'm sure that this is a difficult question to answer given that it's impossible for anyone out there to really know what condition it's in, but.......what do ya'all think? One concern - maybe my biggest, is that when I climb hills, it bogs way down - 10-20 mph - requiring that I put it in 2nd or low gear. Is this normal? Some of the posts that I have read on this forum indicate that some of you are flying up the hills? thanks! Ann
