You got it. They are straight for the most part, but they have a
little jog to the side, a mirror image in each pipe, to allow some
"give" for temperature changes and vibrations. You will see what I
mean when you look at it. I did one in just a few minutes, laying it
alongside the old one as a guide. Still working today, that was ten
years ago.

Before I tackle the rusted screws on the floor plate the lines go through under the van is there some thing under it that I need to look out for? Is running the new lines a simple matter of feeding the new line up to the stove and bending the lines (with a bender this time) in the right spots. The tank install was bear in itself (see other post). Thanks for any help.
