A couple of questions for List friends----

1)  Does the Vanagon A/C system provide the kind of cooling you get in a
newer domestic minivan?  I've talked with a small sample of
friends/relations in southern states of the US.  They were not pleased with
Vanagon A/C, but I don't know their systems were well maintained.

2)  What are the List's recent experiences converting from R-12 to R-134a?
I heard from one List member who said his cost was ~ $600.  I've read that
R-134a conversions may not produce the same cooling, even with a new
expansion valve.  Any more on this?

Thanks for sharing your info......
