Subject:Cooling Temp

My '87 Vanagon seems to be cooling fine, the needle never moving more
than a hair above the LED.  But it often takes a while to get there.
Yesterday I drove 15 minutes in 80+ degree ambient temp and the needle
barely got out of the white range.  I'm not sure if this is normal or if
I need to look at my thermostat or something.  Can someone give me an
idea of approximately how long it takes to reach normal operating temp.
I realize there are a lot of variables involved (ambient temp, driving
conditions, etc..).  Just looking for an approximation.

Thanks,
Darren
