Anyone had issues with to much cab heat?
Just got my camper on the road after 6 months of prep, driving it the cab area gets quite warm, the heat controls set to cold yet warm air is blowing through, now if it were winter-great but I plan a little trip to warmer climes (well, France) and I don't want to cook before I get there.

drop the spare wheel and you'll see the heater matrix valve the cable comes out of the clip and just needs popping back in its a 20 min job max easier if you have some one to move the cab controls whilst you look to see if everythings ok from the under side.

Re: Anyone had issues with to much cab heat?
Sorry, the bag melted and due to the volume it needs to be a large vessel so unfortunately issues with postage, perhaps I could e-mail you some, particularly as I have some on a BOGOF at the moalbertramsbottom wrote:Can you bag some up and send it to me
