Best mount it on a turret plate through the floor. Protects the floor and insulation from the exhaust heat and from moisture ingress to the flooring.Image

If you are worried about pump noise, these pumps are much quieter.
And you can run these heaters on much cheaper Kerosene home heating oil.

Cheers Mike, and thanks for the info. I take it the images are of your folding caravan? So pump outside is okay?
From where do l source an appropriate turret please? Ebay?

Same here, I buy a hell of a lot of stuff. A few problems but no worse than anything from the UK
