We had a air of these in one of my earlier Loafs.

One was by the rear-most pivoting window, one above the dash. Worked
like a charm. We had a really huge house battery and would use these
when snoozing in the van as well. We'd even leave the one in the back on
exhausting hot air when parked at stores, etc.

They were sturdy enough to do the job, but cheap enough to toss when
they got clunky (about 2 years). Check K*Mart, their "On the Road"
series was identical to what I see on this site, and they were only
about $15.

I haven't yet had a chance to re-attach the drip hose to the evaporator
pan.  This is going to take some time and squeezing myself into tight
places and since it's been over 90 the past several days -- I'm waiting.
However, in addition to fixing the drip (thanks to all on the list who
gave me suggestions) I want your opinions on a portable 12 volt
dashboard fan.  I've checked out this web site and it would be useful
even when the A/C is running. (and not really cooling the front, at
least initially)  http://agema.net/Roadpro/index.html   (scroll down the
page a bit)
Anybody have any experience with these?  There's not much in the
archives.
