Subject:Re: Eberspacher BA6 gas heaters on canadian waterboxer vanagons...

I cannot take pictures at the moment as the Hyena is in storage.

In my '88 Westy, the hot air from the Eberspacher enters the cabin in two places:

1) In the cab there is a vent in the base of the driver's seat pedestal;   I cannot recall for certain if there is a vent at the base of the passenger seat, but I think not.   I also cannot recall if there is a hot air hose going to the centre console ahead of the shifter in my vanagon.   I'll have to drop the spare and crawl underneath in the spring.

2) In the camper cabin, there is an aft facing vent along the raised edge where the front seat pedestals and ramp between the front seats meets the kitchen/cabin floor.
