If you're serious about air conditioning your Vanagon, you might talk to
this guy: dhosack@computron.net.  I think his first name is David, he's in
Bay City, TX, and is a podiatrist who sees patients out of his 1991 westy
(which was for sale, may still be).  He has a very elaborate AC system set
up in it, solar powered, something like 5,000 BTU's.  Told me it was like an
ice box in there.  Just a (kind of goofy) thought.
