Heat exchangers / rear heating

[easy]

Hey guys, i dont know why i dont know this, but i dont

What would happen if the back outlets from the heat exchangers (the ones that come up into the rear by the rear arches/under the bed) were to be blocked up?

Would it cause the front dash vents to blow harder or would it cause to much back pressure on the exchangers and cause some sort of miss fire etc?

I havent a ******* clue :lol:

should just be like when the underseat vents are switched off i.e. shut

I don't have any rear vents, I do however get good airflow to the screen/ cab area.

I blocked mine off because the Propex sits under the Westy bed, there's a little bit more air comes through the screen vents.
Other than that, no difference.

Hey Easy, as you know, mine is a converted panel so dosen`t have the rear vent access ports or whatever they are called. Blocking them off is a great idea and will provide more heat to the cab area, blocking the walkthrough vent will also add to it. The only thing I would make sure you do ,, is to block them off with something made of a similar sized pipe so that you maintain the airflow to the front and not just patch them over with flat pieces that would impede your airflow.

Almost anything will do, other than plastic.
