Subject:Re: Propex install near water tank

Frank Condelli(might be misspelled) from Canada mounted his there and
shared photo's of it.  He is active on the list at times and has a business
and website for Vanagons. If I get around to installing a propex that is
where I plan on mounting it also.  I do not want extra holes in our floor
pan and value the space under the seat too much.  Part of Franks
installation uses an area that is normally wasted as it is behind a false
wall between the cubby and the water tank compartment wall.  The false wall
is there to protect the shore power wiring and you will lose that
capability to mount your propex there but for me it is not an issue.  We
have never used shore power and probably never will most of the places we
camp it is not available even if we wanted it.  Mounting there allows the
air inlet and exhaust to go through the drivers side body panel eliminating
more holes( water entry points) in the floor.

Looking forward to your YouTube video as someday I may get bored enough to
tackle that job and am always happy to learn from those whom have gone
before.
