I saw a high canopy once that had a flap on the front of it which you opened while driving. The idea was to force air into the canopy pressurizing it to keep dust out (dunno if it works) but it would get great airflow through your canopy if you had a side window orsomething to open

Got one of those flaps on Flexiglass canopy. Worked a treat across the Simpson and Plenty etc. Bugger all dust in the back. Cost around $50.

My Old Man did that on his ute with a box body on it. Went to the Marine dealers and got a flap that is usually used to drain water from a flush deck boat. Put it in the front of the box body and it worked a treat to keep dust out as Davoe mentioned.

Whitworths boating stores have a variety of vents, maybe not the
WB Thingy. I'm sure there has been some discussion here before, the archives might turn something up.

You could try Carac Caravan Accessories. 21 Frankston-Dandenong Rd
Dandenong. Ph: 97947977.
They carry Camec parts, if they don't have them in stock they could get it, as there is a Camec Wholesaler in Dandenong.
