Drafts

[Pedro Pallent]

We have just purchased a Swift Kontiki 794 Grand Prix on a Fiat Ducato Euro 6 (the latest one) chassis. We are experiencing drafts along the floor, we think they are coming from the cab area. Any ideas where they are coming from and how to stop them please.

Can't see where the fridge is in the layout photos I've found .. but we get a serious draft coming in around ours, from the external vents. I've managed to get in via the vents and pack around the fridge body with lengths of foam water pipe insulation, which cures most of it. I have (temporarily) masked off most of the vents internally for winter as the little draft that's left is bloody cold.

First quick check was to put masking tape around and if possibe under the front of the fridge over the crack.

Have you closed off the heater vents and switched them to recirculating?

No didn’t think of that

Try where the seatbelt straps come through as we had bad draughts from them on a Chausson, also there used to be a vent under the cab seats which allowed cold air in, have a shuftie in the seat bases but if you can't see anything there or can't access them fully see if you can see anything under them externally.

If I remember correctly, the last time I took the cover of my starter battery on my Fiat X250, I could see vent holes underneath.

If the cover is not completely sealed down by those silly plastic twist catches, there maybe be draughts coming from there.?
