Sounds like a novel idea, but for now, the front puts out enough heat. I remember previous winters, of turning down the front heat, even on the coldest days, so I don't think not having rear heat will be a concern. Of course, it hasn't been super cold here (northern IL) yet, so we'll see. I've taken all but the front two seats out anyway, so it's only a "2" passenger van, instead of a 15. So, I don't have to worry about rear passengers being cold!
