Hi listers, While happily setting up my van for camping I knocked a cap off a bolt holding on the op top support and it went into the rear ventilation channel. I took off the small vent that opens and shuts to access the area to retrieve it. I found that either side of the vent was blocked firmly by foam. It felt like the kind you would make a mattress topper out of. So, this explains why no matter how much I played with the front and door vent no air seemed to come from the vent. Is this a thing done to the passenger side of the westfalia camper for a reason or did a Previous owner do this for some reason? thanks for any info. If done for no good reason I’d like to remove it to see if I can get air flow back there as I like to keep all things working. If it belongs in there I’ll leave it. Thanks for any info.
