That's what I was thinking too. Luggage rack area. Not sure if Vanagon
roof area under luggage rack will properly support 18 Kg. i.e wouldn't
flex too much.

Yah, I didn't realize (read!) that it needs the AC to DC converter kit.

Here's manual (large-ish .pdf)

But the good news is that it can be operated on 12V DC with a 75 amp
min. alternator. Though it's listed as drawing 30-40 amps!
