Funny thing is I worked all day. By the time I started unloading at 0500, I got home at 2000. Seems like every time I go camping and we go to someone's campfire I get sick the next week. I'm sure a 15 he workday didn't help.

No just can't sleep, to much on my mind. How about u.

Sorry, crashed right after that post.

That's not cool, I intend to have lots of campfires along the route!!!

 

[Cuoutdoors]

Thank you!

I put some waterproof blade connectors at the fan so I can just switch the wires and have it blow the other direction.

I don't suppose that that nice mounting bracket came with it?? How well does that keep heat out of the cab??? I've heard of some guys installing two of them?? Oh, and what did you use for that round grill on the front??

 

[Montecresto]

You doing ok now mopar?

You can have all the campfires you want my friend. I will not impede.

A few more hours of sleep and I think I'll live.

Lol. Yeah but I'll expect you enjoying them with me at each occurrence, with food, wine and song, and don't want to send you back to your tiny trailer with a temperature.

At home, or in the back of that tractor?

Naw I had to make that fancy little bracket. The fan does ok but I'm going to change my intake route then add a second fan directly under the passenger seat. I used a rubber coupler from the plumbing isle and the grate is what you would cap a piece of 3" field tile with. Lowes carries it and the coupler.

So right now the intake route is thru that grill? Are they 3"? Do you know if SeaFlo for $19.99 at amazon is good?

 

[Cuoutdoors]

Sorry I meant the intake for the engine. It is in the way of a second fan under the passenger seat. Yes my blower intake is through the grill. Grill to coupler to blower. I bought 2 of those sea flow on amazon and it seems to be fine.

I did something a little different. Used an 8" radiator fan. It moves a lot more air with less amps. We don't have under seat cover and this dropped the cabin 12 degrees works really well fan was 18$

Ok, that's interesting. What exactly is that fan, installed as it is, doing with the air???

Pushing it across the motor and exhaust and out the back. Same idea just a lot more air.its also much quiter.

Ok, so it seems that one isn't quite doing it. I think I'll do two, with the grills under the seat bottom panel as I like the idea of bringing heat into the cab in winter. Still need to pick CP's brain some more about his set up though. May see that as a suitable route.

Another option Monte.
