We have a set just behind the entryway that makes a huge difference by blocking the thermal leakage of the windshield and entry door, and another set separating the living room fromm the bedroom/bathroom. It's really easy to heat the bedroom. For AC our two big units are both in the living room area and will probably freeze our mattress if we don't close the curtain!

Don't forget the insulation over your side windows Bus windows are hardly better closed than they are open!
