Possibly a silly question, but have you flipped the
rear heat valve to on/open? I find that with the front
heater only - it's cool in the van (New England -
which isn't quite Wisconsin). Add lowest fan setting
on the rear heater, and it's toasty.

Might also have to adjust the fresh air vents. You
want this blowing through the heater, as opposed to
just coming in cold through the fresh air vents...
