Unfortunately however, MY DT466 and its doghouse issues will need addressed. It seems however that a insulated blanket, maybe one with +-3/8'' tubes with an airpump would separate cooled from heated sides of the doghouse pad/carpet. concerning my 400 cu ft area im betting an 8k/btu unit will suffice anywhere but death valley
If you're gona cut it up anyhow, why pay dealer prices?

what ECCB says..!

if its gonna get cut up, I'd buy an ohio bus thats mechanically Sound but may have rust.. who cares about rust when you are gonna built your own flatbed for it..
