I know that the two dash vents on Mellow Yellow, my 84 Vanagon, just bring in outside air. No fan, no heating, just fresh air. But my goodness, the amount of air that comes in when the lever is in the down/open position is puny. Even at 60 mph. Before I start poking around, looking to see if something like a sheep has gotten stuck in the inlet, is there a Known Problem with these things? -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") KG6RCR |
