Greetings List,

A question if I may.  I am currently in the process of
pulling a BA6 auxiliary heater out of my vanagon.  It
does not work and I have no idea, nor the inclination
to see why.  I moved to the gulf coast from Canada,
and am not all to interested in heat as you might
expect.  What I am curious about is the regular
heating ability of my van.  I have ridden in many VW
bugs of the 70's and found the heater to be completely
adequate.  Of course I realize there is a bit more
cubic meters of interior space in my van to be heated
however.  Can one even notice the heat in a van agon
when the factory heater is used alone?  I would not
know for neither of them worked for me...yes, that was
indeed a very cold winter in Canada.  We do indeed
have winters down here, but nothing to compare with
those farther north.  So just a little heat would be
enough to please me.

Any input would be appreciated.   What I am looking
forward too however, (with regards to climate
control), is the hopeful addition of an air
conditioning system.  This would be a far more
appreciated addition to my van than a gas heater.
Besides, I feel air cooled engines have enough
"potential" sources of combustion as it is.  I do not
need another device which may contribute to unwanted
flames in my van. heh

Thanks all.
