    The seats were purchased from the online auction site and they are dodge caravan second row bucket seats with arm rests. I’m guessing they are take outs from when they do the van conversion for handicap vans. I made the boxes out of 3/4” Star Board. I made the liners using the material from...

    I purchased all the insulation and floor mat material from www.cabinsulation.com Check them out. The floor mat material matched the original LMTV floor mat material.

    I'll try to help out with the wiring but understand that this is based on my Gen1 Evaporator unit and that you should only do this if you are qualified and fully understand the system. Don't take what I say as fact for all circumstances as yours may be different and you should always verify you...

    The amount of refrigerant is relative to the size of the system. First taking it to a local shop that put 8 lbs in it and not being satisfied with the results.
