So ever since we got the heater fitted in our Land Rover Defender we wanted to find a way to heat the tent.
We initially just ran a duct hose out the window up into the tent and loosely wedged some tongue and groove wood into the remaining gap. It kind of worked but we were not happy with the window not being secure or weather proof so we only used it once.
At the Abenteuer Allrad we saw a window vent design on rear defender windows. We found you could get for the front windows but at a cost and they did not have any so we decided to fabricate our own but for a heating duct instead of ventilation.
So here is the Mk1 version. The assembly slides into the upper grooves of the door and the window slides into the lower grooves of the assembly.
A short ducting from the y piece connects to the internal duct bracket and externally a hose is fitted and runs up into the tent.
A blank closes off the vent when the duct is not in place.
Next job will be to test it in the field and see how it performs.
