We just come back from a great weekend in Moreton in Marsh. Went last Thursday and came back yesterday. The weather was fantastic, clear cold and frosty and was an excellent test of how our van works in the cold weather. I think Saturday night got down to -6.
The van performed really well on hookup. I did take precautions. The waste was left open, a small oil filled radiator placed in the cab area. Dashboard vents closed, silver screens on, roof vents left slightly open. Ventilation was good, no obvious condensation.
The big slidey door has to be opened and closed quickly to retain heat and as I’ve now given up smoking (7 months now!!) it has drastically reduced the times I need to exit the van.
Our van is a IH front lounge, 18 months old on a Fiat 2015 base. Our bed when made is in the centre of the van with our heads immediately behind the drivers and passenger seats. There is quite a draft hitting our heads when in bed at night which appears to be coming from two different areas.
1. The seat belt column where the belt feeds out at the bottom
2. From underneath both the passenger and driver’s seat
I’ve quickly looked underneath the van and cannot see any obvious ventilation holes which could explain this. There are a few small holes which look more for drainage then ventilation. If it helps I’ll post up some photos later.
Has anybody come across the same problem and how did you address it? I’ve done a search and can find reference to ventilation holes beneath Fiats, but these all relate to older Fiats.
Thanks in advance
Cheers Alan
