You can hook a hose up to the main propane tank to fuel a lamp or stove.
one way would be to add a T fitting under the sink and simply connect a
hose there and run it out behind the driver's seat.  hole is already
there

if you are going to burn a propane lamp in the bus, though, you need to
make sure you keep a window open at least a 1/2"...and the top vewnt
window open a little too.  A propane lamp can burn all the o2 in the bus
and cause asphyxiation.  same with the stove.  also be aware that
propane when burned gives off water vapor...abouit 30% of what you burn
turns to h2O...this can and will accumulate inside the van...including
behind the panels....where it can eventually cause rust...and
mildew...depending on how much propane you burn inside and how well you
vent when you do burn it.
