Thanks to you all.
It's being delivered today so will take a look at my original site idea plus the under the back seat idea too [which is where I planned to site the gas cylinder too]

I also wired in a AAA battery powered thermostatic 7 day timer but that didn't work too well because they are designed for houses and always try to maintain a minumum 5 degrees (frost protect) even between the on/off periods when you don't want the heater to come on, which is no good if you want a nice toasty van for work in the dead of winter as it will keep firing up all night if the temp is below 5 degrees
So I have ordered this

Which will need power wires from the battery and will use the existing thermostat but it will give me more control. Far cheaper than the propex timer which is £75 for the same thing
