Malcom,
This was actually mentioned a little over a year ago my John (or Jon?) I
believe.

I think this would be problematic since there are electrical as well as
propane hook ups that would be a problem for opening and closing the door..
even if there is enough room in there (these heaters are 6 inches deep I
believe). Also, I don't think you would find many people willing to cut the
exhaust hole in their door.

Personally, I really prefer a removable strategy as I don't always camp in
the cold.... and a strategy that doesn't require permanent alterations to
the van, if possible.

Just my 2 cents...
Bill
