I live in the DesertSW & have owned 3 Westys, none of which have had AC ~
Wouldn't use it if they did ~ It's just a waste of Gas ~ It's YourVan Not TheNextGuys,
Yank it out of there ~ Roll the windows down ~ Enjoy the FreshAir ~
If I lived in PHX or TUC I suppose I just might feel a bit Diff' about it ~ But not
in ABQ & surroundings ~
