I should have mentioned that from an installation
standpoint , I don't favor the next-to-tank
installation location due to difficulty  in
access.

I would much rather install it under the seat.
Under the car makes it harder to install. Under
the car also requires cutting 2 holes in the body
instead of one.

I also think you should retain your stock rear
heater as having two heaters is better than one
for that unforeseeable time when you run out of
propane.

You can gain the extra space removing the panel
in the small cabinet next to the water tank to
help compensate for lost space under the seat.
