Any support for this other than speculation?  I've seen 'Mericun trucks and
vans (I'm not talking corvair greenbriers, I mean vehicles with front
radiators) with spare tires mounted on the front.  No apparent cooling
problems?  Why would our vanagons be different?

I know this is a rehash of an old thread, but I don't believe anyone actually
responded to this.  

TIA,
Ray
