Model information
Description
A 3D-printable HVAC adapter kit for the Tesla Cybertruck to route airflow into a rooftop tent. The model includes an adapter that connects the vehicle's interior air vent to a standard 4-inch flexible duct.
Additional parts required for setup include:
- 4-inch flexible HVAC ducting
- Hose clamps / duct clamps
- Plywood sheet (for window insert)
- Rubber sealing strip or weatherstripping
Window Insert Setup Instructions:
1. Roll the Cybertruck window fully down.
2. Trace the exact shape of the open window frame onto a plywood sheet.
3. Cut the plywood to match that shape.
4. Cut a 4-inch hole in the plywood to fit the duct.
5. Add rubber sealing around the edges for a snug, airtight fit.
6. Insert the plywood into the window frame and roll the window up to lock it in place.
Assembly Overview:
1. Attach the printed adapter to the HVAC vent.
2. Connect the 4-inch duct to the adapter.
3. Secure with clamps.
4. Route the duct through the plywood window insert.
5. Run the duct into the rooftop tent.
The author suggests using insulated ducting for better efficiency and ensuring all joints are tightly sealed. The setup works best when the vehicle is in Camp Mode.
