NO just FORD but nearly all RV's.
The "Dash" Heater/ A/C is made to heat or cool the cab of like an F-350 and your RV has both way more "Glass" (Greenhouse heating) and volume than an F-350 Cab. SO NO. they do not.
Now there are some exceptions. Some of the better Diesels have systems that are very very good at heating the whole house.. Cooling is not as good but heating works great.
You can install a "Blanket" type thing behind the driver's seat that will make the driver more comfortable (and co-pilot) but at the cost of a colder house.
But the standard Dash HEVAC is simply not up to the job at all.> Still ..
Oh talking about the "Greenhouse" effect of the big glass windshield.
I run with A/C and it's like 40 degrees out... Believe it or not.
