Why Can't RV Propane Cooktop Be Used with Natural Gas

Question:

I need a very narrow cooktop for my home kitchen, which has a natural gas line. Can this one work, or does it have to work with a propane tank? Thanks.

The Furrion Gas RV Cooktop # FGH4ZSASS is intended for use in an RV that has a liquid propane (LP gas) fuel source.

Natural gas (methane) has a much lower energy content than propane gas, about 60-percent less, and so if connected to a natural gas source the cooktop would not deliver the required cooking temperatures.
