Ouch! That smarts. You smartazzzz...

Anyway, there was some discussion about evaporative coolers about as year or
more on the list. Stan the Wildman from Takes-Us even shared some airvent
gadgets he cobbled together to get fresh air in. The general cosensus from
whatI can recall is evap coolers are only good in hot dry climes. Nobody
really addressed ro confirmed having actually used one in a Vanagon. I'd be a
little nervous about all that moisture you will be introducing into your
vehicles nook and crannies. That's cooks and nannies for Miller.
