and since im about to drive from el paso to north carolina in a
westy(83 aircooled) i just bought, im a little unnerved. its not an
obnoxious sound, just a whirring noise. quiet, but audible over the
engine.
well, i know of 3 vanagons (2 air cooled and one water) at local
boneyards, there may be more but i only hit 2 yards till i found what
i wanted before, but i digress. im thinking of pulling a few spare
pumps for my trip, the question is, how? it sounds like its below and
behind the front passenger seat.

also, i have a few questions about my westy- first theres a green
control right next to the steering column that says temp. should be
self explanatory, i know, but heres where it confuses me- its not a
push-pull control, its one that is rotated, and it shounds like
theres some kinda clockwork timer in the big black box behind it that
keeps ticking even after the van is turned off...whats this all
about?

second, whats mounted behind the shield in between the fuel tank and
the tranny, adjacent to the propane tank? to the rear of the shield
it looks like some kind of smoke stack or vent pipe sticking down.

third, any tips on troubleshooting the fridge? it doesnt work on 120v
or 12v...i havent tried LP yet and probably wont for some time. i was
gonna take the service manual and a multimeter to it...

thanx in advance!
nick
