You need to find every air leak in the front and seal it up. The first major one will be on both sides over the wheels where the floor meets the fenders. On almost every coach that I have seen the fender have spread (chipmumk cheeks) and there is a major leakage there. Remove the fender liners and look up the inside of the fender from the bottom. You will see the wood floor seam to the fender and the gap in it. Seal it fill length. With the gap there ram air comes in at the floor and up the inside wall of the coach. When that is done start looking for cable entrance holes in the front and also leaks around the heater assembly.

You have plenty of heat available from the engine coolant. So consider putting in a second heat exchanger. Under the passenger seat is a good location.

Those are my initial ideas.
