        All, Vanagon Westys can be  equipped with two OEM propane tanks.
The mounting points for the second  tank are in the frame on the sliding door
side.  There are two studs at the  rear and two weld nuts that you can
insert bolts into at the front.  They  are 10mm if I recall correctly.  The
location is exactly the same as on the  drivers side.  You must shim it down as
is the OEM tank on the drivers side  and I like to add extra shims on both
tanks on the outside feet so the tank  is angled downward making it easier to
connect to the filler valve.  I have  the second tank on my van and have
installed many second tanks on customers vans  over the years.  They can be
kept separate or joined together, your  choice.  My set-up is they are
separate tanks and my second tank has a  regulator output for my Propex heater and
a unregulated output to connect my  cook stove or other self regulated
devices.
