I will definitely have my Espar glycol lines running the length of the vehicle underneath. It is the golden path to 4-season use. It would be easy enough to route the lines near or through the boxes. I guess one would want a diverter valve to prevent undesired heating.

The ability to introduce outside air is an interesting idea. With electric louvers it would be easy to have Home Assistant be smart about this. I have also considered having a fan to direct inside air down to the compartment.

Absolutely with you on the "inconvenient". Even though ours are only drop the pack from under the van is needed to do much other than cables on connections, they have been hanging there without touching them in probably 5 years so no inconvenience yet. When I think about the work or cost of dropping them out to replace every maybe 10 years, I will take that over having them in the way during every day of camping for 10 years.


Make them top accessible, which wasn't really an option in the Chevy, and with climate control and you have the best of all worlds.
