How mnay people have their propex/webasto heaters mounted underneath the van, and what are the pros and cons of this set-up compared to the usual under the seat placement?

I think you will find modern propex/webastos were not designed to go on the outside of the vehicle.

Webastos/Eberspächers can go outside - they make boxes for them for that purpose!

I stand corrected.I'll get me coat.

Propex HS2111 is designed to mount outside of the vehicle

You will need it without a heater!

for the D1LC?

My Propex after 30 years under the van. When I got it off there was a sticker on the top that said not for external fittment.

Box D3LCC U/Floor C/A L-R A £111.87
Box AT D4 Ext C/A 75/90 L-R C £109.02
Box AT D2 Ext C/A 60/75mm B £178.15
Can't be bothered to look for more.

Just for you though:

19491....Box BT D1LC G.....£293.58

With a propex I would put it in a box that is outside proof.
something galvanised would be ideal

Stainless is cheap enough - it doesn't have to be heavy gauge.

Large baking tins are galvanised iirc

£293.58 just for the box? Plus VAT?

Yes.
They are not my prices - they are Eberspächer's, you can see why I think that they are overpriced. Mind you Webasto's will not be far behind.

So, who's got one underneath their bus?
