Hi Russ, I figure with the newport, the tank is inside the cabin (somewhere behind the bulkhead I would imagine, hanging locker on my boat likely). With the espar/webasto, it's in the engine compartment. Also with the newport, this is pretty much how i have to mount it: http://www.thechandleryonline.com/images/productimages/thumbs/153_NewportHeaterInstalled.jpg
Starboard I have a dinette and of course the mast. Port side isn't optimal either. Now that I'm thinking about the tank actually, and the venting, I'm not really sure where I'de locate a tank for the newport.
