Welllll.... I back at trying to improve the ventilation.
Last time out (Glen Orchy) was a warm night with hoards of midgies.
We had the front/cab windows half open but covered with an exterior windscreen cover.
Sliding window over sink half open but covered by curtains.
PC fans in overhead locker running (noisy).
and it was still too hot.
but midgies stayed outside.
Had to open the sliding door about a foot to get fresh air but got midgies coming in and chewing our ankles then so had to close it.
Tried propping the tailgate but bedding kept falling down the gap and midgies attacked from the sides.
I could rig a midgie mesh but can see the bedding pushing it through.
So... next plan is to make a midgie mesh for the sliding door, I know you can buy them, but £70??? for a bit of mesh??? I'm a Scotsman FFS.
It's a real shame no-one seems to make opening tailgate windows, I'd pay good money for one of them and could cover it with midgie mesh.
Would probably cost too much to make in small quantities though.
Opening rear side windows might help but getting ones to fit a diy cut up panel van would be tricky.
I have some caravelle vents that I never fitted cos my curtain rail runs right across the vent holes so I could maybe put one each side in the inner 1/4 panel behind the engine air scoops and pray it doesn't smell, at least not when stopped.
Anyway, if you've read all that rambling and are still with me... I'd be keen to hear any suggestions (that don't involve propping the tailgate, this is just not an option for me).
