Venting Burner/exhaust

[Clean County PW]

In the NY business for sale post(Equipment For Sale forum on this bb) I like the way she has her Powerwasher vented. She has a ductwork set up coming from her burner to the back of the van. The exhaust pipe is also vented out of the back of the Van.

I like this Idea so I would not have to cut the top of My Van and vent it out that way(Which would be straight up).

The Four questions that I have Concerning a Van set-up are:
1-Is it just as good to vent a burner like that where the smoke would go out the back of the Van instead of straight up through the top of the Van?

2- Would if be Ok to put the powerwasher towards the front of the Van and vent it out the side door the same way it would have been vented out the back?

3-When operating a powerwasher inside of the van would it be BEST to keep the side door and back doors open to get more airflow in the Van.

4- Would it be OK to have 2 powerwashers inside of the Van (both vented individually) and have them running at the same time?

Thanks

1) YES
2) YES
3) YES
4) YES

The only thing is do not restrict the vent at all !
If you go out the back or side make sure the vent is twice as big as your exhaust port. Then you will not get soot build up in the coils. If the exhaust is say 4x6 use atleast a 8x12 square vent or a 12 inch round vent.

Thanks Wiz. I think I will vent my machines just the way I described so I won't have to cut into my Van or Trailer.
