Rear ventilation for dogs

Post by E8OMB »

Hi

im just in the middle of a big caddy build (thread to follow) i'm going to fit a Motexion bulkhead but i carry my Boxer and Rottweiler to my showroom every day 50 miles each way. Id like the ability to be able to cool/heat the rear cabin but don't want to go without a bulkhead as i end up with hair everywhere!!

I was thinking of cutting the bulkhead and running Touran rear heating pipes in, does any one know which part or part number ill need??

any help much appreciated.

Thanks

The part numbers you're after are

1T0 819 803
1T0 819 804

Not sure they'll give the best ventilation though as the air won't be able to circulate. You might be better with one of those vents which you see on the roofs of vans that spin around. Not sure what they're called.

Friend runs a dog walking business and fitted one of these. Pricey but it does a good job of keeping the back of her van cool.

Nice one thanks guys. I’ll fit the heater pipes regardless but may have to ruin the aesthetics a little with a roof vent!!

If you do decide on a Flettner vent, shop around as I had mine supplied and fitted for £75 + VAT...
