Rear AC control question


wagdog54
 

On my 2003 Weekender the rear black floor vent behind the passanger's
seat blows hot air if I turn on the swith for the rear controls(under
the radio) It appears that it blows out side air or cooler air until I
fool with it then It gets really warm air coming out. Thanks for any
suggestions.


 

Do you have an owner's manual? No A/C in the rear but the heat is
controlled by a switch near the rear seat above the window. The dash switch simply
energizes the rear switch.

The rear back floor vent is not tied into the AC... there are no rear
AC vents in the Weekender...

Weekenders (and EV Campers for that matter) do not have rear A/C, so you cannot expect it to give
A/C cooled air.


 

Actually to expand on that.
Not only is it not airconditioned - it draws in the air from the
sliding door footwell and then blowing it out through the vent behind
the passenger seat. as it does all this, it goes through a box under
the car that is close to some of the Exhaust equipment. When you drive
long distances and then stop (say to get gas) this box tends to get
really warm from the hot exhaust - and from that point on you pretty
much have hot air blowing no matter what your settings are(until you
stop overnight and all cools down again). So at that point, its often
best to just turn the thing off.
As remedy most MVWK owners use fans (either the 12V clip on style for
8.99 or similar) to blow cold AC air from the front cabin to the cool
down people in the rear.
I just recently modified a 110V 10inch fan (14.99) to be clipped onto
the bed support that is much quieter and has 3 speeds and plugged into
the inverter.

There's also this DIY home-brew solution to insulate the ducting from the exhaust's heat.
