I found the great idea on this forum (sorry can't remember where I saw it or who had it) to install one or two or more inspection ports (<a href="https://www.google.ca/search?q=insp...66&amp;bih=638&amp;sei=el6HUamLDOOGjALqnoHwAw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">see google image search here</a>) on the floor of the van, paired with a solar powered outtake vent on the roof. When parked, the ports screw open, cold air from the ground comes up completely stealthy, vent on roof set to outtake creates a nice flow of air. The issue I'm realizing now is, the floor of cargo vans are ribbed, and otherwise I have no idea what more is to the floor of any cargo van. What can be a solution to this? I'm figuring I'm going to need some sort of floor vent one way or another. How to do it in a cargo van?
 
You would seal it up with compounds like 4200. Most Vent suppliers would have what you want. Make sure that you get some screens. Most same colored square vents are common place. <br><br>James AKA Lynx
