In my 1983 ASI, the HydroFlame heater is mounted in the bottom cabinet
just behind the driver's (left side) seat.  The ASI uses a larger
(RM215) refrigerator than the Westy, and the cabinets are deeper.  There
may not be enough adjustment in the stated 21" depth for proper
clearance in a Westy cabinet.  I wish I had a manual for the heater!  On
the outside of the van, there is an exhaust vent at about knee level.
The vent is also made by HydroFlame.  Living here in Southern
California, I don't imagine that I will use it much.  It takes up too
much storage volume for my liking.  I would greatly prefer to have an
external model that runs on diesel fuel.  YMMV ;-)
