Anyone using a wind turbine to compliment solar charging for house batteries?

I'm just in the process of plumbing a grey water tank onto our Adria and will have to re-route the existing plumbing, which is no biggie. I'm concerned that if I don't fit a check valve into the shower drain line, I may get some "splash back" into the shower if I have to travel too far with a full grey water ta...

But for those with Merc Sprinter type campervans, what is your 'system' for getting some airflow in the van during warm weather? All of the rentals, and vans I have seen f...
