Chris Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 We were interested to see in our new van that Kedron are now reversing the placement of the hatch and fan. In our previous ATV the fan was in the front of the van and the hatch in the back. In our van this meant the fan was in the kitchen and the hatch in the bedroom They have reversed the placement, with the hatch now in the kitchen (back of our van). They say this is due to the slope of the roof and people having reported water ingress. For those choosing to have a Heiki hatch this of course will not apply - I gather it has no such issues.We never had a problem with any leaks or dust, but apparently others have.I was a bit disappointed with this placement as the fan is much more useful in the kitchen (sucking cooking smells and hot air out). But of course there is an efficient stove ventilator so it shouldn't be an issue.For those planning a new van, it could be an issue, and in that case plan to have a front kitchen.(We had decided not to have the Heiki, as we have heard of excessive heat coming in through the unit on hot days).
