Good Evening, Thanks for your interest. 8" vents are recommended, 8" ducting and vents. Hopefully, that assists you. Also, feel free to email us if you need equipment, nutrients, so on... We can offer you additional discounts and free shipping. Have a great day.

6". I fitted mine with 4" ducting. I have 2 tents but the "exhaust sleeve" faces a different direction from each other. Also, the exhaust holes are a couple inches differently placed from one tent to the other.

Exhaust piping. Get the right diameter then have the end flared. Problem is, chimney doesn't draw well. Longer the pipe, more likely you'll smoke yourself out.

My truck does not have rear exhaust, so I have no experience with that. But as long as there is some space to slide the "tunnel" fabric between the exhaust pipe and the rear bumper, and assuming the exhaust pipe doesn't get hot (I've never touched one that might be), I think exhaust would not be your biggest problem. IMO, your biggest problem is the limited HVAC capacity of the vehicle and the lack of insulation of the tent. For environmental reasons, PLEASE don't run your engine extensively while camping. And if other tent campers are in the vicinity, please consider that they didn't come that far to hear your engine noises. Thank you.

I have 2 of these fans in a 4x4 tent with a 600watt light. One is to exhaust heat the other brings in fresh air. Its pretty windy in there moves some serious air the 4" fan I had prior worked during the winter but not during summer heat. This actually allows enough air flow to keep the tents temperature around 70 with cool air coming in

Yea this fan will work very well in the tent you have should suck out all the hot air with no problems but you may have to add just a little duct work so you can direct the hot air out of the top of the tent

A 12x18 worked fine for us, just enough for the tent and a little more clearance. If you want clean space around it probably a 12x20.

If you are not replacing a similar heater, then you will need 4 inch B-vent venting. A minimum of a 6 foot vertical run is required plus rain cap, roof flashing, and storm collar. Optional are the isolation valves.

The unit is designed for outdoor use. It has intake and exhaust built in. So you do not need additional venting.

I'm using as exhaust for a cat box area. I have mounted it outside with about 12' of flex. the sound you here is air being drawn in.

Hello;We believe that if you want to have enough room for your event so all of the attendants are comfortable, you will need to purchase (2) of the tents or purchase one larger unit. If you need any further assistance, please let us know.ThanksWPIC Store

Under the rain fly, there is full 360 ventilation with insect mesh/barrier, along with a rezipping ventilation on the entrance. Its very ventilated while keeping your dry, so long as you aren't out in a hurricane. You don't want to be using this tent in winter weather, just a warning. This tent is definitely for hot and wet regions.EDIT: Adding on to the last answer, you'll be fine so long as you aren't around 6ft tall. I am about 5'6 or 7", and I can lay down fully with a little room to spare. You won't be able to stand though.

This is how I did it----and it works perfectly by the way----I bought an inexpensive exhaust chimney set up. 'Goes like this: 1. a rectangular dryer vent housing that fits over the entire top of the L5. I removed the handle from the heater and attached the vent where the screws secure the handle. The vent has a 3" pipe fixture on it. 2. cut a 5" hole in our cabin----through the ceiling and out of the roof in the bathroom----and then took sheet roof flashing and fashioned a tube to use as a heat block from the 3" exhaust pipe going up and out of the cabin. 3. the 3" exhaust pipe and a articulating elbow----fitted to my needs through the roof 4. self sealing rubber chimney flashing----3" of course with----raised to about 2' from the roof. 5. a wire mesh over the chimney, then a chimney cap 6. tar the seams everywhere you can. I hope this helps. I made my assembly with wood trim in the bathroom as well.

If you don't mind doing some sewing a stove pipe could be added. My observations about this tent. I had it out 5 times last summer. I'm in Kansas and purchased this tent last year (2013). It can get pretty windy here with little to shield the tent from the wind. And, I can say, this tent is not friendly in a high wind... kinda sound like sleeping next to a about a hundred flags in hurricane. It's a good tent with a direct wind under 15 mph. The guide line ropes that run down the tent walls are held on the tent with plastic rings. They can break and are easily replaced. The guide lines are only held to the tent mid way down the TeePee. This leaves a pretty noticeable sag at the bottom of the tent. I spent about a two hours adding another spot about 18 to 24 inches up from the floor for these ropes to hold the tent out. This greatly added useable room to the tent. The tent needs to be sprayed with silicone (tent sealant) and it'll need the seams sealed otherwise it'll leak. Also, when you are hoisting the tent up, be careful with the top of the TeePee. There's a piece at the very top which allows for ventilation. If this folds over and it's continued to be forced up, it'll break a plastic ring holding a rope to the tent. It's an easy fix. Lastly, the Nylon tent door (not the screen) does not have a bottom zipper (the screen does). That said, this is a very spacious tent (with the additional guide line attachment). And, it's super easy to put up and take down. One person can put this tent up without any struggling.
