New BB Owner w/ a few questions....

[Gregory OConnor]

John, the Air Con in my 94 run full tilt to keep it cold when the
outside is 110 and in the sun. I guess you can do the math with the
amount of heat that is lost between the intake and outlet of each
unit. If the intake minus exhaust proves close for each unit the
ambient and sun effects may be causing the heat.

My dash air is noisy and I only turn it on when I need an excuse to
say "I cant hear you"

Glad you asked about the Closet. My closet gets way hot, I bet it
goes over 90 in there. If I vent it to the interior, the inside coach
would get hot. If I vent it outside, the contents may get musty on a
humid day and smelly when passing road odors. If you just put one
exterior vent you will be exchanging interior climate air for fresh
air and that would further effect the AC / heat output. I just done
spend much time in there anymore.

I see you got some tips, may I add. Notice how the brake pedal is
hinged and position your foot to get the most fulcrum advantage for
quicker braking. Carry extra fuel filters.
