doc you have a chassi cab exhaust fitted if you had of gone panel van it would of been over more,just get another bit of pipe with a bend in it and point it to the ground!
pop down to your local exhaust fitter place when its shut and see if you can find a piece of pipe from the old
scrap pile ! :wink: failing that hallfords will do the trim that points downwards! :wink:

ps fred its not a good idea to have a exhast that is short of the body ,have you ever been in a minibus with nackard rear door rubbers and had the fumes comeing in???????

That's where the chassis cab exhaust should exit.

fred the van has a camper body on it so its not the correct place to have the pipe by the door ,it doesnt matter on a luton or a pick up as you are not in the back!
why do you think the ambulace has a side exit ,with all those fumes from the essex the patients will be chokeing by the time they get to the hossy! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The patients and crew were so busy puffing on their woodbines back then that nobody would have noticed the exhaust fumes... :lol: :lol: :lol:

That exhaust is much further over to the side of the vehicle - as Mark says a LWB van style exhaust perhaps?

I've also had another look under my van and realised that the (plastic) waste water tank sits under the shower room at the o/s rear corner. There might just be space to exit behind the rear wheel that side....
