Cool - the D2 is a great heater!
Mounting - it is the fuel pump that likes to be mounted at a certain angle, not the heater. Also, I'd be fine with surface mounting the heater to your floor or...

I can check tonight Len, but I think our CCV platforms are made of either 1/2" or 5/8" (fairly sure they are not 3/4") with 2x2's added for additional bending strength. You may not want the...
