Yeah the window felts that are on there allow cold air in and the jalousies do
too. What is the correct way to replace the felts? Start in the corner or at
the vent window?
Would a bilge blower be better? Cheaper? There is a West Marine closer than a
Fry's.

A bilge blower from a boat mounted in the tube will really make a difference.
Also, the best thing to do to a bay to stay warm is to really work on sealing
it up and keeping the cold air out.

So I plan on taking the family to the Prairie Lights next weekend (should be
about 3 hrs in the Bus) then up to Grandma's on OK for X-mas so i need a
heating solution.
So far I have wrapped the main tube with solar bubble wrap twice, tightened the
clasps around the heater blower motor where they attach to the tubes.
I was planning on rebuilding the accordion tubes but that involves ordering
parts and dealing with asbestos rings. Which is no big deal but I have a another
idea.
Why not mount 2 computer fans (12v) to either end of the
tunnel to push more air?Has anyone tried this?
When I put my hand on the dash the air is hot enough but it just doesn't seem
to be in a hurry ya know?
