You could counter this by opening the side windows and putting the fans on. Why not remove the tailgate so you don't have to worry about tethering it or putting up with it flapping about, or secure it against something to stop it "bouncing".
Never considered the fumes aspect, it's a downdraught exhaust which points horizontally to the floor under the bumper and it's a diesel, which i don't think you can die from because of the lack of carbon monoxide (?)
I'll see how easy the gate is to unbolt, thanks for the tip
Hopefully I'll get a chance to put it into practice when the snow disappears and it warms up a bit
