The PO of my van put one on. T'd into the main line under the sink. Very easy mod. The line runs from the T over to the cabinet face below and right of that door, facing the cabin/slider door. All you do is plug the QR male from your cooking device outside, into the female QR at the cabinet face. Nice part of this is that most of us would use the slider door side of the van for that kind of thing, rather than the driver side, which is where the main tank is. He put it in to run a propane radiant heater to take the chill off cold mornings. Almost any propane supplier could fabricate the rubber hose and QR end for you. Any length you want.
