Funny story on this one, I took my 93 year old grandmother across the
country way back in like 1999 (so some of you folks might remember that
epic journey) in a really nice 87 Westy.  The AC didn't work at first and
after suffering through Arkansas, we got it charged in Texas only to have
the dry heat kick in, and not really use it until we got out to
California.  So we are doing the cursed California stop light every 100
foot thing, with the AC on full blast and a light changed and I had to do a
quick stomp on the brakes.  My grandmom is sitting on the back seat of
course and all of the sudden she is hollering and shivering.  Yup, she got
a nice shower of freezing cold AC water!  :-)  Pulled into the next strip
mall, unplugged the drain tubes, and never had another issue.  One of those
funny memories I will always cherish.  I think she thought it was funny too
after she dried off a bit :-)
