Hello, I've got an 84 water cooled BUS,
the heater controls don't appear to do anything, I've got 2 questions:
1. what are the levers supposed to,do I've got a 4 in total, I'm assuming the top pair are for the cab and the bottom pair are for the rear passengers, is this right?.
2. How much fun am I going to have making it so my feet don't bake in this glorious summer we are all enjoying? (any top tips)
Thanks in anticipation

Hi sir Chad,
1. No - I think the top leaver sends the air to the windscreen - the other leavers control hot to cold, I believe the amount of air coming through, and something else!!! Can scan in the relevant pages of the owners book!
I just fiddle with them all!!!
2.LOTS!!!! our 1984 water camper is permanently boiling!!! Even with the two air vents on the side on fresh air (which I think is wrong, as the Velle pumps warm air through them when required - the camper is always outside air) Hubby did manage to get the direction one to work, so I can change it from baking my feet to baking the windscreen. De-ices quick in winter....) Think you may have to take the dash out to get to all the controls and see where they have come apart, but not 100% sure
I have put up with it for 2.5 years now....

Hi, there's information about the heater controls at the bottom of this page (includes the fourth lever!):

The top slider and the third one adjust the amount of heat going up to the windscreen and down to the floor. Second slider adjusts the temperature.

My heater wouldnt turn off either.
Drop the spare wheel and get up underneath. The valve is up there somewhere.
I just turned mine off for the summer.
