If I had a choice, I'd put it on the passenger side. That way if you
forget to turn on the propane you just have to open the slider and
reach under the door. I can't remember how many times I've set up camp
and forgot yo turn it on and had to get out of the van in my underwear
in the rain and/or cold to turn it on. Doh! You'd have to run a new
propane line if you have a Westy but that's no biggie. Westys actually
have the mounting nuts on the passenger side to switch the tank over,
BTW. You have to either carefully drill out the plastic plugs for
these nuts from underneath or lift up the floor a little to get them
out.
