The problem with catalytics is they are radiant and need to be mounted on some surface in the van that can also provide an exit route for exhaust gasses. I've seen these behind the passenger seat, but that is where the porta-potty goes in my set up! I have also seen them on the closet wall, but these are small and I don't think they put out enough heat. Is it possible to make a catalytic in a box with a fan (like the Carver units) and fit it under the rear seat? And sell it for under $500? Chris Smith wrote: > o.k.
