I use a Redline product called �Water Wetter� that when placed in your 
cooling system reduces the temp of your coolant slightly. I first used it in 
a VW Scirocco that has a relatively small cooling system compared to a 
Vanagons, but I definitely noticed the temp gauge ride a little lower after I 
placed a bottle in the coolant.
I use it in my Vanagons although I don�t really notice a  difference at the 
temp gauge and you may need more cooling for cruising through the desert in 
July.
