Thought Id give this ago , positive pressure system , just bought off of evil bay a bilge blower rated at 130 lpm , vent and flexible ducting to try and evict the dust when on outback roads .
Fitted the fan behind the a/c above the fridge with the outlet above the stove , picking up outside air from the top fridge vent .
And what a test up to the Corner in a couple of weeks

Looks good, inlet filter advised, but one question , most bilge blower are rated for temporary use only, how's it go running for over an hours drive.
Bilge blowers usually run for only a few minutes.

Worked a treat until the way over to Farina the main power wire to the switch dislogged itself and started sucking in dust , so now mk 2 is on the drawing board ...

Have yet to try long trip ..next month....however the main heat from the gas burner is insulated and has its own separate flue.I have also increased ventilation to the cooing fins with a compuyer fan at bottom vent intake.Do not anticipate any heat issue with blower as it is designed to run continuously in an engine room on a yacht and back of fridge only gets a bit warm.
