Has anyone piped cool a/c are into the rear of their van with any success?
I am looking for a solution to keep my dogs nice and cool on the summer beach trips. I have a fully sealed bulkhead and don't want to take it out permanently for security when I have the van full of tools or bikes.

Re: A/C for the rear
I've ducted the centre console air feed to the load space via the driver's side.
I used two 25mm tubes into an adaptor and fitted a webasto ball type vent on the side panel.

Interested in this. I was looking at 12v fans for the dogs in the back but would much rather re route the AC.

@Doc where did you connect the 2 25mm pipes to in the drivers compartment?

I cut them into the bend in the duct below the handbrake. Came out where the centre console cup holder would be if I didn't have a bulkhead.

Re: A/C for the rear
Is there a route you can take with the pipes when you have rear seats fitted?
Also what pipe do you need to use?
Cheers.

Re: A/C for the rear
If you have rear seats you'll have the floor ducts and also the one in the back of the arm rest if you have one.

Re: A/C for the rear
I find the flow for the aircon quite lacking or the rear in my caddy maxi life, with your installation of pipes do you have to put the circulation on a particular setting to get the air flow usable?
Thanks
