hmmmmmm. hadn't thought of that! :)  i keep forgetting that lots of folks
live up there in winters that never get about freezing. ;)  i would think
that if you heated up the interior of the bus, and then turned on the a/c
with the temp control (a/c, that is) turned to max, it should work. i think
the thermostat is inside the bus and the compressor kick-switch is controlled
by that ... that is, it's the inside temp that controls it, not the outside
temp.
