I supprised myself with the innovation on this boot dryer, not to toot my own horn. I started with a 2 in tee to split the ducting (sorry no pic it’s buried under the heater). I used a 3 in shop vac attachment to regulate the flow to the boot dryers.D07B3DF6-05C7-480A-B398-10678C6D7EA3.jpeg
Reduced the size using a 3in to 2 3/8 silicone boot to fit the 2in abs pipe. Built the dryer out of 2in abs and used a hose clamp and small chain to secure it.9B9028AF-7AEC-4582-9EA3-40F22F065724.jpeg
When not in use it stows away nicely under the cabinet made by ATC and swivels out for drying boot and gloves. B5B9C88F-ADC4-4AF0-ABE4-F6406CBD6138.jpeg
I found that all the flow was going to the last of the four vents on the boot dryer so I put a small amount of expanding foam in them and then removed it slowly after it dried to get a desired flow.
I spend 6 weeks in Alaska in March and April snowboarding and dry boots and gloves are a must have in the morning for me. I’ll post some more of my build in the next few days.

That's very innovative.  It's great that you can build something to fit your specific needs.

Cool idea with the propex heater and boot dryer. Betting a lot of folks on here could use something like that.

Nice camper.
