FLETTNER 2000 Air Vent Install with ADAPTER/EXTENDER!

I installed the Flettner 2000 air vent with the extender/adapter. In this video I will show you how to fit the Flettner 2000 wind powered rotary ventilator air vent and the extender/adapter to the top of your van. This will definitely be a great addition to the van as it will drastically remove smells, condensation and excess heat in the summer. I got the vent from Flettner directly who were a great help and I would highly recommend them for your own conversion. The Flettner 2000 is available in black or white and has a lifetime warranty to give you full confidence and peace of mind.

[@relaxation2035]

Brilliant video! Super informative and really easy to follow along, plus it was entertaining! Nice job! 😀

[@willsvanadventures]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikeevans3394]

Great video, enjoyed watching it

[@willsvanadventures]

Thanks!

[@coralieofjumpwithnofear]

So I followed your video step by step and I installed my own!! Thanks again for a really great video. 😊

[@willsvanadventures]

That's brilliant! Thanks for letting me know! So glad to know that my video actually helped haha. I hope it makes a big difference

[@coralieofjumpwithnofear]

@@willsvanadventures Me, too! We’re probably heading out camping in the van in the next couple of weeks (the thick of summer here in Australia), so that’ll be a true test!

[@coralieofjumpwithnofear]

Great install vid, thanks! I’m looking forward to the update to see how it’s been going. I’ve been considering one of these for my van.

[@willsvanadventures]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Yeah I've been super impressed with it so far. Has made a big difference in reducing the condensation. I'll be hopefully making that update video soon!

[@roddyk05]

@@willsvanadventures I fitted one of these to my last Discovery to help keep the air fresh for the dogs. It also worked well when I went camping and sleeping in the motor although on a windy night the noise was noticeable but not overly intrusive. I was delighted with mine.

[@willsvanadventures]

@@roddyk05 hey, that's great to hear. I'm glad it made a difference. Yeah the noise does build up especially when you're on the motorway as well haha. I noticed that it's a lot cooler in the back due to the air. But I've had zero issue's with condensation since fitting it.

[@paul2241xx]

Is it supposed to be so noisy ? Have to put the radio on to stop it getting on my nerves ..... a constant knocking sound .......

[@willsvanadventures]

No it's definitely shouldn't sound like that, might be faulty?

[@rjturner010480]

Do you notice much noise from the vent when its spinning ? I have one originally on my ex BG van whilst doing a conversion and OMG its doing my head in the noise. Not sure if its just maybe the bearing needs replaced or the whole vent itself, but something i want to tackle before sorting the roof on the van for obvious reasons...

[@willsvanadventures]

Hey, nah mines been super quiet. I think as you say it must be the bearing. If you email flettner, assuming it's that make. They are super helpful and I'm sure will send you out the parts you need to fix the issue. 😊

[@rjturner010480]

@@willsvanadventures have emailed them and I'll see what they suggest...but thanks for the reply 👍

[@willsvanadventures]

@@rjturner010480 awesome, yh hopefully they will get it sorted. Not a problem, I make these videos to help others so I'm glad they are. Thanks for watching!

[@ggj666]

I fitted one of these in a van I had many years ago, mainly to vent fumes etc from the van, I carried a lot of paints and thinners in the back. I have to say the one I had made one hell of a droning noise at certain speeds of driving almost drove me mad. Have since then resisted the idea of fitting one to other vans i've had over the years.

[@lucyrollins9582]

are you adding a window in or just using your back windows ? conscious of how dark it could be ?

[@willsvanadventures]

I'm just using the back windows, it's not to bad tbh 🙂

[@armingunay5785]

Nice video! Will you be making a video for when you do the floor Flettner also?

[@willsvanadventures]

Thanks! And yeah I will be in the future! 😁

[@bluestoneryan]

What's the size from the top of the vent on the outside to the roof of the van? I bought a think roof rack and want one of these vents but wanting to make sure it will not protrude the top of the roof rack

[@willsvanadventures]

Hey, it's about 11cm high from the van roof. I thought exactly the same once I had fitted it but it'll be fine depending where you place the roof racks. Do you have a caddy as well?

[@bluestoneryan]

@@willsvanadventures yeh ex British gas one too 2015 different hood to your one. Cheers for checking

[@willsvanadventures]

@@bluestoneryan ah awesome! And no worries.

[@bluestoneryan]

@@willsvanadventures have you thought about colour coding your van. Like the front bumper. Be cool to do a video for that

[@willsvanadventures]

@@bluestoneryan hey yes I have! Was meant to have it done last week but I was to busy to get it sorted. So very soon. What would you like to see in a video about it?

[@suty2144]

That is the best and only adapter video I can find! Makes it user friendly! Can I ask why you never went for the slimline one?

[@willsvanadventures]

Thank you! Glad the video has helped! I worked with the company Flettner who provided the vent. That was just the one that they sent me. I believe they may be interested in me fitting the slim one and creating a new video though.

[@Flabfactory]

What about nights where there's no wind?

[@willsvanadventures]

It still moves with the slightest breeze and will still help to reduce condensation.

[@Flabfactory]

@@willsvanadventures cheers

[@IgnisFatuusblog]

Hi, quick question. How would this work in Winter?

[@willsvanadventures]

Hi, how do you mean?

[@IgnisFatuusblog]

@@willsvanadventures Thanks for your response. I'm just starting to build my van and looking for options. My van is in Minnesota, so I'm worried about how cold it will get with the Flettner. Is it a good option with cold weather to keep the warm inside and moist out?

[@willsvanadventures]

@@IgnisFatuusblog hey, ah that's really cool! Hope it goes well! And I'm not sure to be honest. It will be colder as you'll have a hole in the roof and I'm not sure how cold it gets there so whether it'll be a good idea? My best advice would be to check out a few online to see which best suits your needs. For the UK the flettner is great but it's no way as cold.

[@Golfentusiast]

How is this while driving?

How is this while driving?

[@cokie86]

How is the fletnner 2000 with water? Can you go through a carwash with these vents without leuling water into your van?

[@willsvanadventures]

It hasn't leaked at tall in over a year so seems great! I'm not sure about a car wash as I've never use one as they do scratch your van to pieces! Sorry! But deffo recommend always washing your car properly with snowfoam etc and by hand and never use a car wash machine!
