Joseph, you mused:

<<...I wonder why one would want to have ac on an older van, maybe euro
van.. but a vanagon.....>>

   I live in Georgia.  During a three hour drive (headed north) with a
broken air conditioner, the temperature inside the bus measured at the
cab ceiling just above the rear view mirror reached a high of 108� F (40�
C).

   Our cat was unable to deal with the heat, and we were forced to stop
to receive emergency veterinarian services.  Luckily, he survived the
experience, and since, In our experience, there's no way that the AC can
be made reliable, (4 separate failures, three expensive) we no longer
attempt cross-country trips in summertime.
