Mark, etal, Auto. AC in most cases is at best marginally exceptable in the worst case situation. It must work hard to cool a car fast that has been sitting all day in the hot sun. This is why hotter fresh air is not the best to be cooling. In the case of a vanagon with the large volume of air, AC will never work with this situation. Think of it this way. A good working AC unit in your vanagon, with one or both of the fresh air vents opened. Besides vanagon leak enough air fresh anyway.
