the only problem i can see with this idea is the distinct possibility of
condensation on the metal ... rusting the roof out from the inside. if you
could manage to plastic-coat it somehow, or run some plastic tubing ...

in the pictures in the german books i've seen, there are buses with the
a/c vent running along the sides of the roof ... so they can have front face
air AND the sunroof (or camper). :(    why do they get all the good stuff? :(
