I think I'll mount it at the front of the heater tube. I called West
Marine by my house and they have the 4" for $35. After X-mas
decorating tonight I'm gonna finish wrapping the front tubes, insulate
the front skin blow out the whole thing with compressed air and
install it.
If I don't have too much egg nog...

James, I have a Fan from some guys that advertise in Hot VW. You
have to cut in to the heating channel and put an in-line fan in
there. West Marine, or any boat supplier has them as bilge fans.
You need to mount it pretty far forward or they will melt. And
yes, they are noisy, but they blow really good strong hot air. I
have a divider behind my seat and it will get too hot in my bus to
run it non stop. I have friends up here who have done it in a Bay
and they were amazed how much heat it gives off.
Do it today!

Thats a lot more expensive!
I have read that the plastic tends to melt on those and they are
loud. Someone suggested this:

But I have no idea how I would mount it inline. Any ideas?
