Any support for this other than speculation? I've seen 'Mericun trucks and vans (I'm not talking corvair greenbriers, I mean vehicles with front radiators) with spare tires mounted on the front. No apparent cooling problems? Why would our vanagons be different? I know this is a rehash of an old thread, but I don't believe anyone actually responded to this.
