Subject:      Aircooled and Cold Weather
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I was just wondering if anyone has had experience in operating an aircooled Vanagon/Westy in really frigid temps, like up around Whitehorse, YT in the winter. Like it can get minus 50F up there and I am curious what it takes to operate at those temperatures. I drove a Type II for several years in Alaska, but never encountered anything colder than about -30F when driving. But I have seen it colder around Whitehorse.

Just curious. The knowledge might help me in decisions about Aircooled vs WaterCooled for a Westy.

Thanks,
