Roof vents and linning

[Adebus]

Has anyone got the additional 6 roof vents for rear aircon plus rear section heater built into side and them gone on to get it lined out ?
Curious to see how it looks compared to standard and and issues it caused.

Hi @Adebus I have the rear heat/aircon in my kombi and have been looking round at the line out solutions that are available for this but there dont seem much out there. My local large converter suggested it was just left how it was , another said that they had done one before and it was to much messing so they dont do it any more . So not a great start really. The one company i see do a nice job is Camper van line outs gallery1 Have a look see what you think?

@slidepods
Here is how it looks standard any thoughts / have you lined any like this

Umm hadn't considered the rear aircon would be an issue.
Want to do mine towards the end of the year.
Will be very interested to see the answers re full carpeting.

Nice work @superchargedpolo . I have seen your thread. did you remove the roof panels or carpet over them ?

 

[superchargedpolo]

Yes. I removed the roof panels and carpeted them separately.

The ducting and intake vent panels were tricky. Very fine tolerance that the carpet uses up!

It's a rare setup, but one we have seen before..

Carpeted many rear heater panels in carpet and added colour with vinyl...

@Absolut5
Got any pics of finished job and what options you can incorporate without roof vents and heater causing issues

 

[slidepods]

I have had a little look at it with Brett (Slidepods workshop manager) and we see no reason we couldnt treat it just like a normal lining job....
The only difference being the heater setup and roof, For these we would carpet the rear heater panel and the duct (however I would consider leaving the duct in carpeted, then we would CNC Cut a one peice headlining as opposed to recovering the factory panels, (The one piece headlining makes a massive difference to the feel of the inside of the van)

We would just add the vent holes into the CAD drawings for our one piece headlining and look at a bit of a custom build for the position of the rear speakers.
We get plenty of vans in with the rear heater but have literally only ever seen one at the workshop that had the roof vents. We regularly fit SCA roofs to Caravelle executives with sunroofs and re position the ducting etc in these so in no way daunted by lining your van out in fact the boys would love to get it in as its a break from the norm

Yes if you look at rows 3 and 4 of photos that is like I had done

We do these quite regularly - here's an example of how we finish the roof & ducting pipe @Exploria Ltd
