Is the door prop thingy for while parked/camping or for while in motion? We
use a short bungee for this when parked...If "in motion" is the answer, is
the Vanagon prone to "sucking" exhaust fumes, etc. back into the body when
traveling with the door is propped open?

Boy, I'd love to have a little more flow through, as long as it isn't a CO
hazard...

All-  I had also heard of this idea from a PO of a Westy I bought several
years ago, and he said it was the best mod he'd ever done to it.
