Agreed. We opened both cab windows about an inch so we had some fresh air flow.

We use window vents in Summer to cool down and in Winter when we have the heater on.

I can't believe you were cold enough to need the heating on

I put our's on while the presentations were taking place in't Spragmans to dry out The Bus after cooking but t'eldest switched it off when she went to watch Max Factor.

That what I've done with mine
It was pretty easy to fit, I managed
Your not actually doing anything to your tank just the return fuel pipe so theres no reason not to do it that way. It's a lot easier than having to fit an extra tank

it should be on the feed not the return.

Perfectly acceptable to use the return so long as the return enters the fuel in the tank. You may get a few extra air bubbles but works OK.

I was advised to use the return when fitting mine.
I don't think it make the slightest bit of difference as it uses very little.

We don't have T'roofrats for extra body heat. Just the two of us.
Probably didn't actually need it as it wasn't a freezing cold night. It was more of a trial run.
Put it on for the same reason a dog licks it's balls..... Because it can!
