Is it possible to convert a natural gas water heater (old Chaffoteaux et Maury) to run on bbq gas bottles(Propane)?

Yes. Methane and propane are both used in caravans, often methane/calor gas is used during the summer and propane that has a lower freezing point during the winter.

Do I need to use a different regulator or can i use the same one as used with the bbq? Also does the pressure of the water pumped through the heater matter? Thanks

Yes BUT you will need new jets for it!! and an RGI to do it
