Propane furnace swap to diesel

Hello,
Has anyone swapped out their propane fueled house furnace for one that runs on diesel? Most new class A diesels use a diesel powered furnace and are not equipped with propane at all.

Seems like that would create the same situation as the mh as travel trailers do not carry diesel fuel?

This makes sense on a diesel powered motor home, that also has a diesel powered generator. It means you only have a single source of fuel contend with and store.
Why do you do about your water heater, fridge, and stove/oven that all probably run on propane?
Most travel trailers don’t have built in generators, so how do you contend with needing power on the road or off grid? If it’s a portable generator, I assume it’s propane or gasoline powered.
How/where do you mount the diesel tank?
How do you deal with the pump and electronics to run it?
How do you run the supply and return lines?

I have the Seneca with the diesel motor. In cold climates I turn the generator off and heat with the furnace. So my biggest user by far is the furnace. The newer diesel pushers have no propane and use these diesel fueled furnaces. I am curious if anyone has swapped to them.
