Is there any way to make the a/c recirculation stay on for more than 15 minutes? It is too hot this time of the year to cool the outside air. Is there a good reason the Germans think I am not getting enough fresh air?

I just can’t see how this would be possible to not have enough air in a Sprinter. They are so large, and it is just me in the van 99% of the time. Besides, like you said, fresh air always blows out the vents above the radio. Maybe at some point you would run out, but surely you would run out of fuel before you ran out of air. I have not ever seen a vehicle other than this one that does this.
" Also the A/C cools pretty well though. Never had the fan on any setting higher than 1"
Where on earth do you live? It was 98+ degrease outside today. I had the air on full blast, and I kept the air recirculation on all day and I was still sweating. I wish I had rear air! The back didn’t even get close to being cool. It could be worse. I could have black instead of white. I still need to install rear insulation, and add a re-engineered recirculation switch. This should help keep me cooler.
I can attest to the rear air being a life saver.....I wish I had rear air!
That's a good question, Michael. I don't think there's a way to divert fresh air through the back, at least in the rear air design that I'm installing with the factory control switches.HERE'S A QUESTION: Is there any way that one can blow just plain old FRESH AIR into the rear cabin if you have the rear A/C unit? I would imagine that you could, but I can't find the button/switch that one would use to accomplish this. Am I dreaming again that this is possible??
Michael, the "blower" is the roof fan. I have a Fantastic Vent Fan in place of the oem blower fan.Hmmmmmmm ... interesting. I read in the user's manual that there's a "blower switch" that can be used to aerate (sp?) or pump "air" into the cargo area.
