Before you add propone consider your travels. No more tunnels! As this is a
new installation you should also add flammable gas detector and CO alarm.
The piping methods and any appliance have to be listed for the application.
For us that means "suitable for use in a recreational vehicle".  I don't
think the 3" clearance is much of an issue for the Vanagon. I have seen a
few damaged tanks on the Eurovan though from road damage.

Subject: Eurovan propane tank

Hi All,

I'm kicking around the idea of adding a propane tank to my vanagon
(non-westy).

GoWesty is selling the Eurovan tank (5.9G instead of 3.3) with a loss of 3"
ground clearance.

They are also selling it for $50 less then usual for November.

Anyone installed one of those and can talk about what the loss of 3"
means for practical purposes?

Cheers,
Harry
