Hey Mark, for your 2014 Ford E250 I recommend going with the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR55PV. This is a complete low profile unit that includes a thermostat, single zone controller, air distribution box and a heat strip, and has a cooling capacity of 15,000 Btu.

But, If you're planning on powering the AC with just 12V power from your battery then you're not going to be able to do that, you'd need to use an external generator since the 12V battery won't provide enough power.

Hey Mark, how did the Furrion Chill HE unit work out on your Ford E250? Did it give you the cooling performance you were hoping for? Your update could make it easier for others planning a similar van setup.
