On 110* days the A/C system is not enough to keep up. By that I mean I have to be wearing shorts and a t-shirt to stay comfortable in the cab. It is better than nothing, that is for sure. It is significantly cooler on the inside than outside, but you will not get it down to 65*-70* on the inside. On 100* degree days, it is just enough. If your avatar is correct, and you live in Long Beach, CA, I think you would be happy with the system. I do not think you get a lot of snow on the beach. : )

Jesse,
Thanks for the input. Long Beach isn't too bad. But I do travel around the southwest and as you mentioned it'll see 100+ days in the summer in the inland valleys, as well at 32 or below up in the mountains in the winter. So I want to make sure the system can keep up. And I certainly don't want to go backwards and give up good heater functionality.

I was out wheeling at in the local mountains in the middle of the night a couple months back. It was probably around 40F out and the heater wasn't overwhelmingly hot. I think i need to better seal up the system and maybe insulate the floors, doors and bed sides.
