Well, I know about the rear heater valve in mine -- or more accurately, I know that there isn't one -- rear heater that is.  I took it out, and ran the coolant hoses right past it, though I did use barbs so that a future owner, if any, would be set up to refit the heater.  I guess If I camped in brutal winter conditions, I'd want heat back there going and coming, but heat up front is enough for me -- I dress warmly in winter, anyway.
