Good point, but if you are going to do that get an '89 to '91, the early systems were poor performers. I'd rather put the in-dash in my $7500 '85 than pay $20k+ for a later vintage that still has an obsolete and backwards A/C system. Gotta have that cold air in my face, not a faint breeze on the back of my neck!

This may, or may not be an option. Sell your existing '87 and buy one with a good AC already working.  You'd be $2,000-$5,000  ahead with money your not spending on your '87. It would be like a credit you apply to the new rig. I have no idea what type of condition your present unit is in, or what expenses you've got into it. Notice I didn't use  the word "investment". If it is an investment that will make a return for you; go ahead and upgrade. Unlike me, there are plenty of potential owners that will buy a Westfalia without AC and the price added for existing AC is near nothing.   Chris C3 ---------------------------------------------------------------     Need to cool off!

Ok, the family has put their feet down. There were too many hot times in our= last trip. (Got up to 105F at one point.) windows open, not much help.  I n= eed to cool my '87 Westy. While on the road.

Is it realistic or reasonable to try to install an AC in her?=20

Any recommended solution?

Thinking about the evaporative cooler. Pros or Cons? Recommended models? Whe= re could I get one not on line? Saw one from GoCool, anyone else see this?

If I can't cool the van down, then I will be traveling alone. Your help is a= ppreciated!
