Roof vent is a must.
There are a couple ways people go with vans: plan on electric plug in (park in a friend's driveway) for heat and a.c. or completely off grid and no power heat and ventilation.
The small window a.c. units fit in the back door (buy a junk yard door to cut and weld on if you think you may sell the van). Electric heat is an electric mattress pad and small space heater--more to dry your stuff out than heat the space.
Off grid heat can be small propane heaters, but they have to be vented. The non vented once add a ton of moisture to the air. I have seen wood heat in a van, but it is really tricky to get it to fit safel--you need to know what you are doing.
Insulate the OUTSIDE of the roof! Buskote is a fancy paint with ceramic insulation in it, or elastomeric roof paint for mobile homes, both help summer and winter.
