Per - Your's is probably one of the better ways to accomplish this
Vanagon "Roasting".  Did have one dude who suggested the catalytic
converter would probably be the hottest source of heat to harness.
Perhaps someone can come up with a heat-exchanger we can use the
catalytic converter with?

You know, cold weather needs are fairly easy.  One of the Vikings on the
List, I remember, told me about how they keep their beer COLD via just
tying the container to the bumper of their Vanagon in the winter.  This
Vanagon engine cookin' seems to be the problem.
