Getting heat to the back of the van.

Post by Sven »

When driving, the back of the van is a pretty cold place to be. Without putting the Propex on when travelling how do i get the rear heated up a bit more (that last bit sounds iffy, but hey...)

I was considering running with the eberspacher on, but dont know if that is an acceptable thing to do. If you are not carrying rear passengers, I was thinking of putting a full sized curtain behind the drivers and passengers seats so I only have to heat the cab area.
