I have tried fans.  The problem with A/C in a Westy is drawing air from the back to the front passenger area.  There id already a monster fan in the A/C in the back.  I just wonder if the airbox fan would be able to pull cool air from the back and onto the folks sitting in the front.

I'd first make sure that the lever connecting to the airbox are doing what they are supposed to do.
Other than that, I'd just get a 12 volt DC fan and place it strategically so that it blows air the wayyou want it to.

The way my bus leaks air, lack of outside air in the vehicle is not a problem ;o))All kidding aside, I am aware of that increased CO2.  It is something that one has to be careful of, especially in a modern, well sealed car.

hi Dave, 
I remember having seen a van that have it at Syncro Fest some year ago... it looks like a flap that close and open the fresh opening and at that time I am not interested and I didn't investigate further.
fyi... I have read somewhere that all the cars from Europe have some sort of continuos fresh air flowing into the cabin.. supposedly to keep the driver alert and not drowsy on long distance trip.... the reason is (as they say) the carbon dioxide (CO2) form our breathing could make us drowsy and less alert on a long drive... of course we can remediate this by opening a window a crack... and that Air Recirculator from Chris is mean to control that fresh air flow.
I hope this help.dan
