I had the same question - had planned to use flexible lines , but have seen most installs use copper hard lines. Are there specific reasons for the hard lines?
Very expensive, but this is the nicest diesel heater port I have seen anyone come up with so far:

Yep, love my full barn doors! Highly recommend.
Install was easy, three holes to drill on each doors, add some bolts and they are installed.
Getting all the gaskets added and the doors sealed was a bit of work and trail and error, but it was easy enough.
I’m looking to add an external solar port and shore plug to my camper - when you added those plugs how are you attaching them?
Through bolts w/ nuts on the inside? Screws? Would rivets through the skin work?
I’m assuming some kind of sealant behind the plug as well?
Barn door extension install was super easy, drill a few holes throw in some bolts and they mount right up.
Took more time to add all the gaskets to seal them up than it did to install the lower barn door halves.
I drilled a hole beneath my 3rd brake light and installed the camera there.
I did end up making a harness to connect the aftermarket camera to the harness for my factory camera under the bed, but that was pretty easy.
Edit: This was the camera I used, have one in the front grill as well...
Thanks @dstefan - super helpful! Good to know AT was willing to install on a different brand of camper.
I had planned on buying a Truma from this place and installing myself: truma-varioheat-eco-campervan-gas-heater.
Was thinking of mounting it like AT's normal installs on a sheet of ABS or...
@dstefan Do you have any more pics of how you mounted this to the camper itself? Or of the exhaust fitting on the exterior?
I want to do this on my OVRLND, just trying to get a better idea of what it takes.
I've been debating this myself.
Did OVRLND tell you how much the barn door extensions would be? I've been meaning to email them about it but haven't gotten around to it yet
The flip up hatch is way more open/out of the way than you might think, you can stand on the tailgate easily with it open.
We all have our own needs/wants from our campers, but the limiting factor when getting in and out of the camper is the height of the actual camper rear opening and not what...
I did a similar build to yours but hatches on both sides - driver to the front and passenger to the rear. Works great for my bed setup and I couldn't imagine not having the hatches - so convenient to reach in and grab stuff!
I went the seemingly controversial route and got a flip up rear hatch...
I'd be willing to split the drive up, meet somewhere in the middle.
Takes a few people, at least 3, and just a few wrenches to swap it over. Would need a new bulb seal as well, but that's only $30 on Amazon.
