If its a Fiat have a look under the van you should see up the piller were the seat belts are attached
if its open the draft can come up there ,sometings they have a grill I think I have seen something on the forum
to cover the grills (may be a fiat Part )

Yup.. Look underneath the van and on one side there is a plastic cover over a large hole ( its about 5" square from memory ) and on tother side it will have a vent / grill affair
I pulled out the plastic grill, covered the hole with gaffa tape and then forced the grill back in
There are also vents on some vans in the door jam ( actually in the door ! ) I taped those over too

Possibly cold transfer from the unheated area (the cab) . My brother in laws Auto Trail is the same , you can feel the cold from the cab.
Unlike our mhome being a class there are heating ducts from the truma in the cab and around the windscreen so no unheated area.

When we had a Tracker I filled the bottom of the pillars with fire proof expanding foam that helped but it was always draughty in the cab area.
Got an Aclass now no draughts and toasty.

Something a LOT of people miss is to switch the cab heater to recirculate otherwise there is a ruddy great hole in the front of the van with cold air ducting straight from the outside !
