"Doughnut" Between canopy and truck window?

[OregonRangerTremor]

Any experience with this inflatable type doughnut? Or what are you using/other ideas?
I have never had these before but want to blow A/C back there for the dog.
Thank you!

I’ve put in a lot of those when I worked at a shop that sold caps. Good simple solution.
In Michigan, we found this really didn’t get heat or a/c to the back. You could feel it if you had your head in the window.

Thanks for the input. I will have a fan in the canopy that will hopefully help "pull" the A/C air back into the canopy. Even a few degrees will help. I have always had German Shepherds and they tolerated the heat. My new breed of choice (Portuguese Water Dog)...well...with his coat, A/C is helpful.

Which cap are you adding?

A Leer 100XL....painted to match of course.

I didn’t know an actual product existed. Several years ago, I was moving and drove my 2001 XLT and my dogs from New Brunswick to Ontario. I used a bicycle tube to achieve the same thing. I think it was for a 20” balloon tire.

My Cocker Spaniel curled up on the passenger seat, while my Golden Retriever ignored the comfortable bed I made for him in the box, and stood for the entire 18-hour trip with his head poking into the cab through the slider. ?

Back in the days of the Ford Courier and Chevy LUV, I used to see these donuts a lot on trucks with camper shells.
Dang, I now feel quite old!

They make cooling fans for crates.​

Why not just open the topper windows and put a fan on the crate?​

I will probably do that too. I just wanted to be able to blow AC back there and also talk to my Dog while on the road.....because he listens (better than my other human half)

Totally understandable.

My dogs don't travel far so they aren't usually crated. Most if the trip at least one of them has their head in the window.
