 Hi Ray...if you enter "Dust" into the search box at the top of this page,you will be able to access a thread started by normiek on July 31st this year. You will then find some ideas that may suit? Good luck.Cheers

There is a forward facing grille opening in the front centre of the body. Inside, there is a duct that extends upwards and opens to the inside closer to the roof. That means that the rain can't get in. It has a covering inside of stainless steel fly wire to keep insects etc out. 

It also performs the function of the high level ventilation required for the gas installation.

It works!

Cheers,

Peter

A mate of mine used a bilge blower with a pod filter set up on the roof of his van.

We have the short snorkel fitted to the roof of the camper , the air enters the camper via an airfilter. Have traveled many very dusty roads over Oz including Gunbarrel, Connie Sue etc and always dust free.

Cheers
