    window van security?

    How concerned do i need to be about somebody breaking into my window van? Do any of you have any advice about how to maximize security? Is this why so many people choose to live in a windowless cargo van?

    mercedes sprinter rear heat A/C off external power?

    Is it possible to run the rear heater and air conditioner off of external power in a Mercedes Sprinter Passenger Van? If not, has anyone ever modified one of these to do that? Don't want to install another heater and air conditioner when it already has one!
