Subject: 80 Thermostat Question

Hello All!  I have been trying for two days to access the archives, but
it seems that the server has been down, so I'll ask here. Sorry if this
subject has come up already.

What are the pros and cons of installing an 80 degree thermostat in an
(otherwise) stock '87 Westy?  Thanks for any information.
