<< Ken,
 Check into a high torque starter for the Vanagon.  They have 2 to 3 times
the cranking power, self supporting (no tranny bushing) and are lighter than
stock.
 This might be a good option for those in colder climates.  A selling point
is that when they are away from an electrical socket to plug various heaters
types the engine will still be able to turn over faster...
