Also, being 110VAC you'll need a source of power-like from an inverter.
A bit of a kludge solution - no criticism intended, this is how you vet ideas, so it's an interesting one to consider.
Not sure that the thermostat would do much, and it won't control air temperature-it just turns off the fan if the water in the system drops below a certain point so the unit doesn't blow cold air.
For driving, if you still have your bus heaters, you can consider a thermostat on the fans like a few others here have discussed so you're not flipping the switch on and off when people complain; when parked, I'm more inclined to recommend a diesel heater. Cheap, powerful, fairly simple to install...

Rucker- thanks! Im I’m FL right now so not using a heater, but planning for a small wood stove in the middle area of the bus (it’s a 13 window) with a fan on top to move the air. The Myson (or Beacon Morris - thanks Double07) would be more just the comfort of having warm air where my kitchen floor is. I have a 3000w inverter currently and 300AH from solar or 30A shore power.
Thanks for the tips!
