Back window

Post by al & chris » Sat Feb 12, 2011 7:38 pm

Why is the back window on the passenger side of.. bongo none opening. This is where we want to cook would be good to let all the steam out. Can it be changed to an opening window. There seems to be a latch there but does not open. :?:

Yup, this was the modification to get ventilation http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... 2of02.html basically the locked window with the top corner cut-out and replaced with a fan!

And all because the rear cigar lighter is on the nearside. Wouldn't it have almost been simpler to have put the kitchen on the offside, where the window can be opened, and worked around the power feed problem?
