Our Propane System
We opted to use propane for our van, many others choose not to. We enjoy gas burners to cook. We ensure proper ventilation using our fan, skylight, and window. Additionally, we routed our propane tank to the back of our van to provide instant hot water for our shower.
We have one 20 pound propane tank in a propane locker underneath the sink. To create the propane locker, we lined the cabinet with weather stripping insulation tape and widened the gray water hose hole to allow propane to escape if a leak occurs (propane is heavier than air). Check in with a local supply house to create propane lines with connectors and pressure regulators
