Awesome thanks for your updates.
What was the total cost if you don’t mind telling us.
Cheers Kiwivan

Kiwivan,

the parts cost was $2,300
the charge from the A/C specialist to make and run hoses and gas the system hasn't been presented yet, but I expect it will be under $1,000

Total cost will be a tad over $3,000
I seriously doubt you could do it cheaper as I did just about everything myself.

The Engine bay is SIGNIFICANTLY less cluttered and working on the engine is simple vs the factory A/C.

Attended the recent Van-in in Wodonga and the heater worked excellently on the cold nights (my partner really feels the cold) and the A/C was fantastic in cooling down the hot interior on the drive back.
both times, the fan was at the slowest speed and temp setting's 1/2 way - so I expect it'll be awesome on 40 degree days ;)

Brilliant

Cheers Kiwivan

Did you have any problems connecting the ducting to the back of the oval shaped vents? What diameter ducting did you use? I measured the back if the vents being 90mm x 57mm. Was interested to know if you had to use a transition piece to connect the ducting to the vents
