Northern Exile Mar 2021 9:36pm, 28 Mar 2021 7,507 posts	Quote Pin Northern Exile I was on some FB group the other day and some French blokey had come up with a very neat duct system to feed warm air from his van's heater right up into the poptop, I thought it quite clever. He had to do some pretty invasive work in the interior trim mind you.

RunningRonnie Mar 2021 9:58am, 29 Mar 2021 2,026 posts	Quote Pin RunningRonnie yeah, trying the 12 volt sockets around the van and looking for lights on the panel shown in the photo. I'm trying a longer charge today to see if that helps.

Still need to remove the panel inside so I can install a wedge as currently you cant use the side door due to my Banded steels being too wide :¬)

Run and bike ride completed unfortunately it’s a bit to choppy for a swim so going to have some lunch then off for a walk over the cliffs - perfect day 😀
