Rear opening windows

My slider came with the mesh screen, I bought two second hand ones ten plus years ago I think. No idea what happened to the other one though . So second hand ones are available and they’ll fit in to a standard window glass seal. As far as camping goes, I rarely if ever maybe even never need more than the two roof vents with the cab windows down an inch and sometimes my slider is open and sometimes it’s closed and that is normally down to alcohol intake on that particular evening. Ten plus years ago I made a set of fly mesh covers for the tailgate and the cab windows for when it gets super hot through the night. I’ve never ever used them. When it gets hot in towns and built up areas, that heat can go on into the night, but in the areas where we predominantly camp, when the sun goes down the heat mostly goes with it and so I’ve never used them. I’ve also heard that in the hottest deserts of the world it can get below freezing in the night and you can hear rocks cracking in the cold night air, is it true? Don’t know. Perhaps a good dash fan for just the traffic jams. I bought a fan with a water container included to give evaporative cooling but it was pretty feeble. Swamp coolers work well but only when you’re travelling again. There were a few AirCon units fitted to these guys but rocking horse poop springs to mind.

When the weather's really hot we use these fans on the dash top. I have a 12 volt socket in the dash which powers them.

As long as the engine's running the battery is OK. They are powerful and not noisy. I have some of that dash rubber matting underneath the fan just to stop any vibration noise.
