i hadnt seen those thanks, but i was really looking for the ones where you have to cut a hole in the side of the van to mount it in.

it more for security, so that i can have the tank filling and being able to have the van locked at the same time, and the look neat, it doesnt have to be a trip hazard, depends how high up its fitted to the van.

On one of my vans I cut 2 holes with a cone cutter in the back side panel and put 2 hoselock connectors so I had an inlet and outlet. 6 years on and still no rust and it cost about £2.00 8)

why not have one under your bumper ? at least this way if you ever sell the van you will have 4 small holes in the floor which can be filled easy.
I have under floor ports to allow reels to be taken out of van and to minimise the trip hazard.
Cost about £18 from purefreedom
