Heating is rubbish…

[psybear]

I’m sure I read a thread about this issue before but I’ve searched and can’t find it.

This is my first full winter with my converted T6.1 and the heating system seems to be rubbish.

Even with the van fully warmed up, heater and blower set to max, my legs are still cold. That’s even with the selector set fully to feet.

I can feel the hot air coming out at foot level but there is a still a cold spot there. It gets to the stage where I have to turn the heating down as I’m too warm up top but my legs are still cold!

The design of the side vents doesn’t help, with no way to regulate the strength of air flow and hot air blasting out of them even with the selector set to feet only.

I doubt there is any workaround for this but just wondering what other peoples’ experiences have been.

Well, since you ask...

I find mine takes a while to get up to temp, but once there it absolutely roasts. At max it's so hot it's too much for my hands to bear so have to crank it down a bit.

Ditto my feet if I direct the air down that way.

The knob that controls the blower speed obviously regulates the airflow, my only grumble being that there's quite a step between the medium settings and the top two, but that's a fairly minor issue in the grand scheme.

I also find the AC to be reasonably decent, no complaints with that either.

I have found that it pays to not have the fan on flat out. It seems to blow the heat past your feet.
