Hi all,
Anybody put a roof vent in their EV (in my case EV GL).
I'd like to get some ventilation toward the back, have a place for heat
to escape when the EV is parked in the sun, and hopefully stop the wind
buffeting from the front door windows.
I'm concerned with the rear A/C ductwork that appears to run the length
of the rear roof area...not sure if there's room there to install, say,
a 12"x12" roof vent.
Also concerned with any "whistling sounds" from the wind at highway
speeds with the vent open or more importantly, when it's closed.
Thoughts?
Thanks...
I have had a sunroof installed in a T3 Transporter for 6 years and have had
no problem with wind whistling at speed , it is located at the back and the
only problem I have noted is remembering to close it ! have been caught
several times during the night with the resulting wet sleeping bags ...the
cure is to run plastic over the vent and still allow air movement...great
for hot days which we can get plenty of 40c (100f) in Southern Australia.
And if you are really keen......you can remove the glass and stand up
through the hole.!
cheers Ray.
