Anyone using the ministry defender heat/hvac kit

Looking for feedback on the ministry defender heat/ ac combo unit. Kit is complete and includes all hoses and fittings? Are you happy with the quality and the output of the ac temperature?
I’ve been using a webasto diesel heater these past winters, but may remove that system in favor of this ministry kit. Feedback welcome….:thanks, Jim

I have installed mine, but haven't finished the AC hoses yet. Had the heater up and running at end of winter this year, and it was fantastic heat for my 300 tdi 110. Even if it was the same capacity, the fact that it pulls air from the cabin instead of external means it has a compounding effect. Expect the same with AC. And I don't give up any front knee space for an under dash unit. no regrets so far.

Mark, did it fog up with wet/snowy boots and such?
no, but it might until I finish the install. Once complete, it designed to run the AC and heater at same time as a deliberate function, with the AC being a dehumidifier for the cabin. It's specifically addressed in the manual.
Regardless, I'm committed and love the system so far. We did have one day at end of winter here in Charlotte that was very cold and wet (feb-mar). My windows fogged up quite a lot, but I was able to blast them clear with defrost heat from the MoD system (which blows very strong) in about 2 minutes. I'm just sharing my experience so far, not trying to debate anyone's experience or theories. I'll report out on findings this winter when get up in altitude for some winter, snow trips.
