That's a very clever technique...mind you it's going to get a tad cold in the CM after a while, without the standard barbecue roll.
Or will it? Could the internal electronics plus the body heat of the single astronaut keep the cabin heat up all on their own?
I was thinking about that in regards to Apollo 13 - with no normal thermal circulation between the CM and LM, going through the tunnel back to the CM would be very odd indeed; you could run into temperatures varying be dozens of degrees in the space of a couple of feet.
