On my '96 Safari it's behind the panel at the left rear just inside the door. \:D/

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

you shouldn't have to ask as you can plainly see it in the back of the van.
I'm always careful to not block the vents when carrying stuff back there.

Has nothing to do with any camping forum.

Thanks guys for the help.

If I may ask,seems the coolant has to travel quite a long distance and on only one compressor,how well do these rear A/C's work??.

Gary, You have to remember there's a lot of cubic feet of area to cool. It's a bit much for just the front unit. Especially here in FL where the summer temps inside a vehicle can reach close to 200. Not only does the AC have to cool the air it has to overcome everything in the van that's also heated. I don't think the front only unit would be efficient enough to do the job. The dual AC in my van does a respectable job. \:D/

Mine is awesome and rarely do I have the back on anything above "low". I've been in the desert with temps of 115° too!
Two items that really impress me about these vans is front seat comfort and a/c . Both are terrific.
