I don't see why you would need a propane "kit."  Just get a new propane tank
($219), and the rest of the stuff's pretty much generic.  (You could get the
dual-stage regulator and metal gas line at an RV supply place, propane
specialist, or even some home centers.)

By the way,  I also have a used Westy 3-way fridge which I would sell for
$180 plus shipping, that would drop right into your existing cabinet.  (You
would have to vent it out the side of the van, though, like on the Westies
that came with one.)  I've been using it at the shop to keep my lunch cold,
so I know it works, although I haven't tested it on gas or battery power.
