    Hi, I am thinking about putting a revolving extract vent in the roof of our van to cool it when driving.

    Has anyone any experience of this – does it work? Are they noisy?

    Otherwise I thought about opening windows in the two rear doors – anyone done this?

    Cheers

    My van came with a Flettner
    My van came with a Flettner vent installed in the roof. I haven’t tried the airflow when driving, but when stationary the airflow is minimal. I does help a little when it’s very hot and the door is open. It does help a little bit when the van is shut in the sun.

    I would rather install an opening roof light than a rotating vent though.

    Mine is probably as old as the van, 10 years, and it’s near silent.
    I would go for an opening roof vent. Great when stationary, and some can be used when driving. I have a Fiamma vent and it’s great.

    Hi, thanks for the post.

    Why haven’t you tried the flattener when driving?

    Do you know which fiamma vent can be used when driving?

    Cheers
