jessies tip of the day.
Seen as I'm using the jellibus as a daily, well apart from the days I cycle in and get used as target practice by tw*ts in cars! As you're well aware, it isn't what one would call 'snug' in a camper, so I made a temporary bulkhead out of cardboard and hey presto flipping toasty. I can now drive around without gloves,without hat and even without a coat. It's not even fastened in, just cut to shape and wedged in. Complete with a little window, so I can still see out the back.
Get one made up, you'll be very pleasently surprised how warm it gets. Turn up at dubfreeze all relaxed and not in need of a waterbottle

Do you know, I was just thinking of that... Been to Keighley this weekend to see SpikeCrewCab and his Crewcab and was wearing gloves and my nose started to run after a while, as the heating couldnt keep up with the draft coming from everywhere... Good thinking Batman, I mean Jelliman ;D Thinking of Dubfreeeeeze in the van now for sure

I used to have one of the blowers from Bluebird customs in my old bay and boy did it blow out some air. If I put one of these in I'd be able to drive around in just my undies - not a nice thought!!!
I already have a little blower rigged up ( like the fan on your pc tower ) which is good when you're sat in traffic. However, it doesn't increase air flow when you're at revs, ie driving.
The one from bluebird is highly recommended.

Why not fashion a bulkhead out of perspex, would probably feel less claustrophobic

Hey, hey, hey, that looks just like mine - well almost. Is there now a shortage of brown tape in York? Bet it did the job though. Who's the strange hitch hikeress?
