Truma heater vent extension

[MartynShaw]

So our truma boiler/heater is under the bench seat and vents almost directly onto your legs when you are sitting down, which is fine. But when the bed is set up of course it vents under the bed, not good for cold mornings!
Is there an extension piece that we can plug in at night and have it vent elsewhere? I have googled it and found nothing. I thought of making something from plastic pipe but I think it will soften with the heat. TIA!

I have never installed a heater so this is a question not a criticism but that one looks to be on its side, does this matter? I thought the elbow with the vent was supposed to be at the top to allow for filling and emptying of the water jacket. Standing by for an explanation.

It's your eyes, it is at the top.

Wish mine was more readily accessible. If I get a problem, it'll entail disembowelling the motorhome.

Electrics are even worse, In mine the kitchen socket is on the same circuit as as the fridge, I need to separate them as I don't want the fridge running of the inverter. They join behind a panel behind the boiler. So I will have to rewire the socket (not an easy job in a Carthago) or I will have to take the boiler out, no way am I doing that.

I have an opticians appointment next week. Actually I think it was my brain that that got it wrong.

Yep, my brain was lying down.
