I installed mine where Frank did. You can see it in my video at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmRHzwkDsEc at around 10:40.  I am much
happier with it there than under the rear seat taking up so much space.

Subject: Propex Install

I am in the process of installing a Propex in my 89 Westy.  I was planning
on doing the install in the bottom of the closet, but now that I have the
closet out, which is major with AC, I am concerned about this location.  If
the unit needs to be serviced it would require removing everything to get
the closet out.  I would like to keep the rear heater and it looks like the
Propex would fit mounted on the top of the rear heater enclosure.  The air
intake and exhaust could exit through the rear firewall and clear the blower
housing and hoses.  My question is does the Propex have to be mounted with
the intake and exhaust exiting the sheet metal of the van, or could they
penetrate the rear heater enclosure and exit from within.  I image the
exhaust pipe gets hot, but how hot.  I could cover the heater enclosure with
a sheet of aluminum to provide some insulation.  Does anyone know if this
has been done.  I have only seen under seat installs where the rear heater
has been removed.

Thanks,
