>> Besides the above, any suggestions of other things that we could do to do
some winter camping in the Westy? <<

I feel very strongly about not using un-vented propane heaters in a small
space for any length of time. If you are going to do allot of winter camping
then invest in a vented heater like the Propex. I have one that was from a
group purchase on this list maybe 10 years ago.  A web search turns up
http://www.van-cafe.com/vanagon_parts.jsp?pa=p&p=1206396154&pct=950274116&ct

vented heater options available but I don't remember what they were.

The Propex is expensive but it's up there with one of the best purchases
I've made for the van.  Porta-Potty of course being #1. :)
