I have my roof vent at the back of the van so I put one of these near where the bulk head would of been at the front. I've also put one where my gas bottle is stored for the gas drop vent. Just cut a suitable sized hole.
Check under the van first as to where your cutting so you miss the chasis etc.

Hi Mate. So something this small will do? i was going to be making a great big hole for much bigger vents haha I'm just wondering does it depend on where you put these for an mot point of view? Because of the 30cm rule regarding holes near the chassis and suspension?

Holes in the floor are ok - motorhomes have water drain and gas vent holes drilled through - I'ts just rust holes that are MOT unfriendly.
There are some places you REALLY don't want to drill holes (above the fuel tank for starters). I would favour putting the vent hole (or holes) into the square section cross beam behind the seats. My bulkhead was fixed to this, and when I removed it you can see tarmac through the fixings. I filled them with Sikaflex. I'm now wondering whether I can get enough airflow through them - simply poke the filler out the holes. It might be enough to do the job.
