The heat and A/C for the back will be a roof mounted RV type unit. The back of the vehicle was gutted to make room for a new interior with beds, sink, shower etc. Things might be a bit tight, but we will make it work. I have a 12VDC to 120 VAC inverter to run it while we are traveling. At night we could use shore power or a generator is needed.

The cab will use the Vintage air heat and A/C. The bottom of the cab has been coated with the Lizard skin spray on ceramic insulation, the interior floor has 2 layers of insulation as well. So this should keep the cab warm or cool.

I'm not familiar with the Vintage Air kits. I have heard of them but wonder how well they fit and how hard they are to put in. What specific kit are you using? Are you going to use the factory compressor from the ambulance system or replace it? I am thinking a roof top heat pump for the back and separate cab A/C also. Have you started on the A/C install yet? Pictures of the firewall stuff would be great to see if you have them. Below is picture as of yesterday afternoon. IT took awhile to get the first bench out.
I've never been to State College but have two nieces that went to school there!

Antennaclimber, Did you have trouble getting the passenger box out of the back of your M1010? I think I have all the rivets drilled out including the 4 holding the heater exhaust flange under the box. The one in the rear corner behind the control panel/vent panel was tricky to find. Seems there is glue under the heater base which I have separated. The heater base is still hung on the duct heading up to the input vent. Do I need to disconnect the duct under the seat headed forward.....looks like there are a few screws under that. I will get it out but would like to not damage the bench as I want to channel it and re-use it but narrower. The heater is coming out for sure. I can't foresee a scenario where I need 30K btu/hour ever.
