Mine is under the bench seat on the passenger side. Since the OEM
heater was removed, I made a cover panel for the existing rectangular
where the old heater vent was and mounted the 2 Propex vents on that
panel. One vent is connected to the hot air outlet and the other lets
cold air into the space where the heater intake is located. I made a
vented cover out of thin plywood that protects the heater from heavy
objects. It also lets air circulate around the heater and into the
inlet. The only holes I drilled go thru the floor to accomedate the
intake, exhaust and LP.

In hindsight, I wonder if it would be possible to mount the heater
under the van in some kind of weather proof box. I'm not sure where the
air ducts would go, but no drilling needed for anything else but the
thermostat wire. It would be much less noisy and allow more room. Any
thoughts, volks?
