I have one of these and I've used it for years. (Got turned onto it by
fellow Austin Healey geeks years ago)  The main problem that I have found in
using it with the Vanagon is #1 - long way from the tire to the master
cylinder, and #2 it tends to overfill the master cylinder if you are not
careful.  As to the moisture question, I have not found it to create any
problems that I can attribute to it, but I suppose it could be an issue.

NOTE: #2 above caused a failure of my wheel cylinders last summer the first
day out on the beginning of our 3,500 mile west coast trip.  (What a way to
start a trip).  I was not careful enough about making sure that the master
cylinder had the proper amount of fluid before wrapping up the job.  (Live
and learn)

I do highly recommend the unit, since it seems to provide better results
than the wife pumping the brake pedal...  :-)
