20' Series Pressure hatch worth doing?

[dugite57]

Been thinking of getting a pressure hatch (or two?) put into our 20.64-1 and was wondering if anyone else has done this and did it work on keeping out the dust. I've not gone off road yet but intend too and I'd rather solve any dust ingress issue before it occurs. I did see the you-tube of the guy that modded his Jayco camper trailer with a snorkel head, seems to have worked, but I'd rather just get a pressure hatch if they work...

Thanks in advance

I found sealing the holes that they leave after running cables as well as the rear wall panel where it joins the floor underneath, dust would get into the area where the tail lights are and end up in the back of the van also a vinyl flap inside the door vent stopped ingress of dust.
A scoop on the roof would be great until the first road train drove past but trying to pressurize the interior before plugging every hole and crack you can find may not work.
