I wondered this myself. My current ride, I put the cylinders in the back, strap them down so they stay vertical, and that works well. However, if I go for a "B" or a one ton truck + truck camper, I will need to find another spot for the cylinders. I have thought of putting them on a hitch mounted cargo holder or even in the front of the vehicle, but I feel that is asking for trouble.
As an alternative, I've minimized my propane use, so I carry as little as possible. For example, a Buddy heater and some Coleman 16 ounce bottles (which are easily stored in more places), and an electric fan forced heater allow me to run the generator or use the Buddy heater and have about four hours of decent heat in the rig per pair of the small propane bottles, without drawing down the main cylinders.
Come a truck camper or class "B", it would be even more so. I'd probably carry a bunch of the little bottles, just so the furnace is supplemented by the Buddy heater for most of the night.
