Just FYI, I bought a Propex in the last group purchase, and installed it
myself. I'm about as un-handy as it gets, and I had very little problem
doing this. I know I saved a TON of money. I've used my heater many
times, and it's still working well 6 months later.
I've written up a description of my installation, but it's incomplete.
I'll try to complete it soon and when I do I'll post to the list.
Folks on the Pacific coast can see my installation by coming along to the
Wet Westies / CCC campout on November 14-16th. See
http://www.vanagon.com/journeys/ccc/ for more details.
