James,

Sounds like a neat Van-but the air cooled ing for a long haul could
cause allot of adventure's en-route.
Especially if you push it---

If you want to cruise at 50 mph all the way back and forth to assure
your return--go for it---

It ain't a Westy---I think it is called a Riviera----
( not quite sure of this )

For the long haul, regarless of the H20 headaches--you'd be much better
off----you at least cruise at 70 all day without hurting the engine--- (
straight and level, no big hills or headwinds )

Have fun in your quest in this bizarre Vanagonite world---:>)

Later,

            ______________
