I hope the van craig was going to rent looks better than this one
 
By golly I got it.. Someone forward this picture to Ford. This might be just the break or idea they need to turn it around? 20 mpg per split
 
Actually, an intelligent design! As long as the van is insulated in some way or them is above 50 degrees.

This is actually a good take on OWB - the unit shown is probably legal in many areas since it is far enough from the house not to be considered for codes.
 
To be legal in most jurisdictions, you have to drain the fluids and fill the gas tank with sand before the inspector will sign off on the OWB conversion.
 
Note warm air does not travel down hill all that well in an uninsulated duct. I wonder where the returs is?
 
Elk, I'm sure you've seen a lot of hot air systems that deliver the heat down - I've seen 'em in utility rooms that then feed under the floor.

I'm gonna send this pic to the HPBA government affairs people and tell them that they have approved this unit with their new "voluntary" OWB program. Maybe I'll doctor it up first and add "Approved" etc.
 
Craig there were recent heated debate so I figured something on the lighter side was due. A chance wher creative minds like BB can let it rip

You know you may be a red neck if you honymoon transportation was greyhound or you signed you marriage licence on the hood of your pk truck

If any member of your wedding party was wearing an article of clothing with a Cat Diesel patch on it, you might be a redneck.

Elk,

This looks like something out of the Red Green show......held together by duct tape, no doubt..........
 
"If you have to debate with yourself whether or not to take the wheels off your OWB....you might be a redneck"...lol
 
Elk?

Would this be considered exempt from certain codes? Kinda along the lines of exemptions for mobile homes? "Exemptions for Mobile OWB"...lol

I knew we had something in common, cast. I'm a big Red Green fan. Around here it's on PBS.

Pffffffffft amateur
The gas tank is part of the hot water system, I thought everyone knew that
