I've had a 'one pounder' for years.
It's a8conventional white small propane tank,
about 9 inches in diameter, about 11 inches tall..

it will fit, standing upright, in the spot behind the right tail light
and with an access door in the van floor right above that space..
can reach in and turn the valve on or off..
plus it's vented downward to fresh air.

the only think I don't like about that location is it's right in the
corner of the van where it could get smunched in crash.

well shoot, tried to find a picture of one online, no luck.
it's a cutie though.  Nice handy size.
