How Can Reduce This Gap (1 Viewer)

[RS_rob]

OK people a previous owner has installed an A/C unit in the roof & removed the central light & cut down the door that separates the dinette to the lounge/bedroom.

As I am using the motor in winter I would like to put some kind of barrier in place to reduce the amount of heat that is lost over the top of this door into the over ventilated dinette.

I have seen inside unmodified Autostratus's & I know that gap is normally less than one inch more likely a quarter.

Ideas on a post card please....

personally I would cut a piece of 4mm ply to fit around the ac and fix in place with velcro strips

yep totally agree with the big1, use some cardboard as a template and once to size cut it out over some ply or similar.

I might consider putting a draft excluder brush on the bottom edge of the 4mm ply and closing off the vents in the ac unit on one side with some tape or clingfilm if there were still drafts but other than that, completely agree with the above two posts.

... I was gonna say that too ... could do with a few more IMV just so we totally get a feel of what it looks like from the other side ...

I'd use high density foam board. But why not stop the over ventilation of the dinette? What's the issue rooflights or floor grilles?
