I am thinking of taking out my roof aircon unit and replacing it with a turbo-vent.
Need to know:

1 is the hole from an eletorlux A/C the same size as turbo-vent?

2 how much work is there in doing this?

Hi Patrick

Don't think you should have to much of a problem, as I think that they both fit into a 40x40 hole, and if you already have 12 volt wiring to the a/c unit, or if not wiring that could be used it may need some re-routing to get wire to side of hole.

I have not fitted one personally but had one fitted to previous van and from memory they took approx 2 hours including running wiring from floor up wall and through the ceiling.

We have one fitted to current van, came with it and we have been very pleased with it when hot as it provides an airflow throughout the van on extract, taking hot air out through the roof and does not need to be running too fast, so is not as noisy as some a/c units I have heard.

Hi

If the aircon unit is working I would advise leaving it in an as it adds value to the van where as a turbo vents attraction is minimal in comparison.

I have turbo vents in stock if you want one but consider the above.

Hi Patrick I agree with JCM- Peter so if you take it out then store it to refit come sale time.You will already have wiring in place whether it be 240 v or 12v so it will be easy to rewire.The turbo vents make a hell of a noise on high speed but suck your hair off as you pass :ROFLMAO:Not too bad on slow or medium speed ::bigsmile:I have one in my garage that I intended to fit in this van but dropped on a 900 mm heiki instead :thumb:
