Has anyone ever pulled a camper with a propane comverted pickup, and if so how was the pulling power?

Engines run extremely well on propane, but propane has less BTU's per gallon. You will lose mileage and power. In the late 70's and the 80's I ran all my vehicles on propane. You will need to carry a large propane tank which may be difficult to locate on your truck other than in the bed. I wouldn't consider using propane on a fuel injected vehicle because of the cost of conversion. Propane isn't cheaper than gas or diesel anymore either.
