This depends on the year of the Vanagon. AFAIK, during the 1986
production the default was changed from fresh air only to heater air
only for these side vents.
On the later fresh air/heater unit inside the dash both options are
available. There are 2 places on each side of the unit where the hose to
the corresponding side vent can be connected. The unused connection has
a large plug or cap in it. A different hose is needed for each option as
the end of the hose is either round or oval depending on which air
source it is meant to connect to. I forget which is which.
