I have an idea to put some kind of vent behind the rear license plate. I am going to put two vents in the van. One passive input and the second with a 3 or 5 inch (not sure which yet) computer fan to draw the air out. I am going to build the interior of the van fairly air tight so good venting is vital.
It would probably be simpler to keep the license plate vent as the passive one as I will want to have the option of opening the rear door and adding the computer fan there would complicate things.
My main question or concern would be how to get maximum air flow but still be 100% rain proof. Up here in the PNW it rains alot so I dont want any moisture problems via the vent.
I was thinking of using either 1/2 inch or one inch spacers to elevate the plate off the plate cover. Then use 1x1 wood strips to build a frame that would mate with the top and sides of the plate but not the bottom. This would create an air gap and would seem to be good to keep rain out.
Thoughts?
