If it is heat, is there a correct way to seal it, or is it duct tape to the rescue?
I guess that if it is fresh air (AC) you may want to seal it for the summer to get more fresh air (AC) up front.
I am not sure, I am not a bus guy, but just wondering.

that's the way it is Richie, there's a lever at front you turn to cut the flow of fresh air to that rear vent.

Will when ever you are ready. My place or yours. I got no problem traveling up to you if thats what it takes. You can watch, help or just kick my nuts as I toil away on your bus. My calender is open so just pick a date or two, hey even a week. If I finish ahead of schedule I could just work around the house maybe clean the chicken coop. It's up to you. I'm free whenever.

Joisee in da' house is right! That puppy's sitting in the barn right now.
After depleting the Binghamton Walmart of their Satin Jade stock I decided to get cookin' and color up the bus. Still have a ways to go, but it's starting to take shape.
Apologies for the low quality photo, haven't brought my camera back from ROC yet...
On a negative side, just found this out about my neighbor, Freddie.

Will I forgot to mention at the Cinco de Mayo bus BBQ it got a little chilly so I pulled my Deposit T shirt out that had been hanging in my bus since last year. One of the girls there saw it and said that they been to the lumberjack festival. It was funny because I heard about it from you on my tractor thread.

GA, the Lumberjack Festival is a weekend or two before the campout. The raft race is a bunch of fun.
I could grab you a T-shirt if you'd like, I know I'll be getting one.
Speaking of tractors, you missed the Callicoon Tractor Parade!
The old farm vehicles are fun, and most show their age...
A 1927 John Deere backfired while driving past me, I turned around thinking someone had slapped me in the back to get my attention. Pretty cool.
Moving on.
Got the rear finished today, the bumper will go back on tomorrow A.M.
Thank God for Krylon.

Thank you, GA. What size will do ya'?
Added my location (a little lopsided) and painted 3 out of the 4 hubcap centers black. The 4th still had OG black paint left so I figured I'd leave it.
There's another way to paint them with spray paint and lacquer thinner. After going at it with a brush and seeing the results up close, I'd go with the route below.
