Subject:rear air vents for Westfalias? Possible to install?
From:Phillip Bouton
Date:Mon, 29 Mar 1999 14:10:03 -0500

My brother's 78 Westy has a small window next to the rear bench seat on the
driver's side that when open all the way sucks the air through the van like
a wind tunnel.

My 87 Westy does not have any type of rear vent to let air pass through the
van except the sliding windows near the front of the van.  I have seen later
models of buses (but no Westys so far) that have vents on the rear windows.
Can someone tell me how these vents in later models function and if you
think it is feasible to put one in an 87 Westy (I have full camper
interior).

The are some simple marine vents that I have thought about putting on the
Westy in the rear, but have no controls are permanently open.  I am also
worried that without on/off controls it will create some sort of whistling
or other sound and also not let my AC reach the front of the bus (blows from
rear above bench to front of bus).
