I REALLY wanted one of these but it would not fit under my
van with the BA6 gas heater in place. Since the winkler tank
extends to far back.

I am no expert but I recall that one of the left to right
bars in the frame has to be moved further back to accomidate
the larger tank. Other than that I am told it is a simple
installation.

Thanks,
Chris
