Vent in Hab door footwell (1 Viewer)

[Mr Colpot]

There is a vent in the lower step of the hab door access which is a grill and vents to the underside of the van. It lets the cold in and I am thinking of blanking it off or fitting vent I can open and close but wonder if it is there for a specific reason?
Anyone have any ideas?

Ventilation is essential, in any room but particularly a confined space in a MH.

Prevents condensation (damp) and is needed when using gas appliances (safety)

Fit a closeable vent and you are likely to leave it closed - don't do it

At low level, probably gas escape vents if you get a leak. LPG is heavier than air so will sink to lowest level.

Thanks - there is a gas drop vent in the cupboard under the grill/hob and it was so cold on Sunday morning we could hardly sit in the dinette.

We tape our footwell vents over for ski trips.

The rest of the time they remain open and bloody draughty!
