Hello All,
I just got a 2003 140wb high-roof passenger van, and I'm getting ready to do a DIY camper conversion. I know I want a roof vent so I can cool things off easily in the evening, but on my passenger van none of the windows open (other than the two fronts), so I'm wondering: when the roof vent is pulling air out of the van, where can air enter the van to replace it? I was thinking about adding a couple small vents down low like the ones at the bottom of the page here, but then I noticed some vents in the rear side trim panels:
Does anyone know, do these connect to the outside? Or are they there just to equalize pressure between the interior and wall cavities (or something like that)? If they connect to outside air, I'll try to leave them unobstructed when I insulate my wall cavities. If not, I'll either block them off with the mass-loaded vinyl barrier I'm installing, or replace them with the flip vents from Sprinter World.
