Think it will be a good heater during hunting season

Hell of an idea! I like it

Haha, I was wondering when someone would do that.

@Delton and I were talking about reversing the fans for winter and using vents like this.

Good job man!

I'm a HVAC guy, and I think it's brilliant! Ware did u get the vents? They look like round soffit vents.

Should work good.

 

[vince]

Exactly what they are. Bought vents for a boat bilge were to big I thought so went with soffit vents

 

[Remington]

I would suppose it would also draw well to help the fans when in "cooling mode" Unless your have some kind of dampers/covers to cover them when you don't need them?

I have 2 four inches fans and you can feel it pulling a lot

 

[vince]

Hope it pushes just as much this winter

 

[Remington]

Me too! That's what I'm looking for! Great when going to my blind on those cold mornings

Wow that is a super clean install! Very well done. I don't know squat bout HVAC (except how to adjust the thermostat lol), can you give more specifics? Size, where bought, etc?. I was thinking to myself the other day how hard was it for blowers to get fresh air lol. This should help extend life of blower motor alot. Nice job! If there was a prize for mod of the month, you'd have my vote.

Order them off net. Place called vent masters. There 2 inch. Easy installation used a 2" hole saw bit. Think 6 of them were 10$ hopefully when I turn the blowers around this winter it will help in the cab.

Don't think they'd break? I may go back and get aluminum. I believe in overkill lol

 

[vince]

Lol me too

 

[Delton]

Lol me too

Just ordered 6 aluminum ones. I'll find something to do with the plastic ones. My daughter likes to swing her legs sometimes and would probably smash the plastics lol. Thanks for the help! I may upgrade my blowers to 4" instead of the 3s too. I noticed at higher speeds on the road, the blowers don't do as good of a job. I'll wait to see how vents do first though.

Will you be able to hear more engine noise with these vents installed? I would think so. @Delton, can you take some DB readings before and after?
