There is more than one configuration of propane tank.  Use the actual
tank to find the locations for the bolt holes.  If I were starting
from scratch, I would consider installing the tank under the sliding
door, as on the ASI Riviera campers.  This moves some of the camper
equipment weight to the right side, reducing the "Westy lean," and,
IMHO, is more convenient for operation than the Westfalia setup.
