With all due respect to Chris,

The BEHR In-Dash would be a fine addition if you already had rear AC and
needed more cooling capacity.

But it really doesn't have the volume to cool the whole Van.

If your only concern is the front (Driver & Passenger) and you hang a
curtain behind the Driver / Passenger seat to contain some of the cool ...
if might be fine.

But if you want the whole Van comfortable .... I don't believe this unit is
sufficient.

Unless you live in a very moderate climate.

Just a point of view.

Happy Trails,

Find yourself a used Behr unit. I just paid dearly to get one
off of eBay:

That said, BenT picked one up for $49. But he is much cooler
than I am to begin with...

Thanks,
Chris
