I also wondered about mounting the Carver P4 outside the van - I was thinking
perhaps in the open area under the floor near the sliding door.  I talked to
Carver's tech. support, and the man I talked to strongly reccomended against
putting the heater outside the van, even if it was in a box of some sort.
Since on other questions he was willing to depart from what the heater's
manual said, I tended to trust his advice.
