So during a trip away from home you decide you want to convert the AC over
to a different refrigerant. Why. Is it not working at all? Do you think a
different refrigerant alone will make it work that much better? What year
Vanagon and is it a Westy? If the AC is not working at all the first step is
going to be to get it repaired. This most likely is not a drive in and get
it done in a few hour event. A big problem is that whoever you have do the
repair while you are away will not be able to provide any warranty support
after you leave. With any major service you will be best off waiting until
you are home and can have someone do the work that is close enough to handle
the comeback.

Would like to convert my AC over to new refrigerant. On road toward
Yellowstone and then eastward. Can anyone recommend a shop to do it in
Idaho, Wyoming or to east?

Thank you. Just one of those things that did not get done before leaving!
