Hi all
My firewall gets very hot and I know that the cabin heat system is the culprit. I live in sunny South Africa, but my RV6 was built in Vancouver. It has 2 heat muffs that feed from the rear baffles on either side, through the muffs and then blows it against the firewall on both sides, which creates all the heat on the firewall. (picture attached) I am yet to be cold in the RV, but I have had many sweaty rides in summer.
My plan is to remove the entire system and close off the holes at the back of the baffles and put some heat protection on the cowl where the heat muffs where.
Any tips or warnings when doing this?
