Frequently Asked Questions
Which van roof vent is best for New Zealand work vans?
The Flettner TCX-2 is our highest-performing model and is recommended for work vans that require maximum heat, fume, and moisture extraction. It is engineered to move significantly more air than standard vents and is ideal for vehicles with internal linings when used with a Slimline Base adapter.
What’s the difference between a rotary roof vent and a powered van roof fan in New Zealand?
Flettner rotary roof vents are 100% wind-driven and do not need any electrical wiring or battery power to operate. Unlike powered fans, these units provide continuous, silent ventilation without draining your vehicle’s battery or requiring complex electrical maintenance.
Will a Flettner vent help reduce condensation and odours in vans used around New Zealand?
Yes, Flettner ventilators are specifically designed to extract stale air, dampness, and odours to prevent condensation and mould buildup. By continuously circulating the air in the cargo area, they create a healthier environment for occupants and protect tools or goods from moisture damage.
Do Flettner ventilators need wiring or maintenance once installed in NZ conditions?
No, these ventilators are completely maintenance-free and require no electrical connection. They are manufactured using high-quality, UV-stabilised materials and sealed stainless steel bearings, ensuring they remain reliable in New Zealand’s varied weather conditions for the life of the vehicle.
Can you recommend the right Flettner model for a van roof vent and where it should be positioned?
We recommend the Flettner TCX-2 for larger vans and heavy-duty applications, while the Flettner 2000 is suitable for smaller vehicles. For optimal extraction, the vent should generally be positioned toward the rear of the vehicle’s roof for an effective flow of fresh air throughout the entire cargo space.
