I've got no problem with that, I like cool. It is just that often solutions are simple and readily at hand. The tubing is local and cheap, a wire separator that is used under Pyrex glass cookware on electric ranges is local and about 30 cents each. Seems lots of Vanagon and Westy owners are always looking for overkill so if its overkill you want you should definitely go for Cool.
