Converting your stove from CNG to propane is simply a matter of changing the orfices in the burners. My new Frigidaire gas stove (in the home) actually came with a set of each. The CNG jets were factory installed and the LPG in a package attached to the installation instructions. The delivery people installed the LPG jets when they installed the stove. Talk to an appliance vendor.
I don't think I've ever heard of a CNG stove in an RV, so the lack of information is not surprising. Your tank and regulator should have manufacturer labels on them. See if the manufacturer can identify the local installer for you. The CNG system is another matter. CNG is methane gas and lighter than air so no need for a vented locker, sensors, etc. The tank is at much higher pressures in order to store a useful amount of gas (systems on forklift trucks can be up to 3000 psi) and you still store a lot less fuel than in a similar size LPG tank. There is probably an expensive two stage regulator to bring the gas pressure down to 2-3psi. And it is hard to find anyone to fill your tank. You might ask your municipal gas company or the local bus company if they can either fill the tank or identify someone who can. The benefits to CNG are that it is safer than LPG, it burns hotter so cooks faster, and it is ridiculously inexpensive (which is why most new buses run on it).
