Recently met a Vanagon couple from the PNW that were spending the
Summer in ElPaso due to WorkRelatedStuff ~ Their AC consisted of a
bucket between the front seats that was filled with BottlesOfIce & the
Lid had a couple of IntakeHoles & 2 12v ChassiFans that blew the
CoolAir in their Direction. They said it worked amazingly well.

                                                                                        ORR ~ DeanB
