I have heard of using a scupper vent to pressurise a van to exclude dust, but I wondered whether the same effect could be achieved by leaving the forward facing section of a 4 seasons hatch open. Has anyone tried this on a dusty road?

Yep. I answered this on the other forum.  |

We don't have a 4 seasons hatch but I would assume that it would do an even better job as it's about 5 or 6 times bigger than a scupper hatch

Sounds like it would work. Just remember as I am sure you know the traffic traveling in the other direction will make dust that you will get in the hatch and you do need some speed to produce internal pressure.

You may also lose the front facing flap too.

You may also lose the front facing flap too. That can happen. Almost lost one myself but I was lucky that I only broke the windout mechanism. Replaced that and made another detent position to ensure that it was fully horizontal for travelling. Now further problems after many thousands of km on dirt roads. |
