A buddy of mine has a 80's era VW Westfalia that he, wife and dog camp in. Problem is, we all live in AZ and his Westie has no AC, which is actually probably for the best, because he doesn't think he could pull the 6% grades here with AC on if he had it anyway, what with that small motor.
So he found that youtube vid a while back, and made a cooler of his own using a trucker's 12V fan and a sytrofoam ice chest. They use it when driving to and from Phoenix to the pine country. He says of course it doesn't do the job of a full AC, but it certainly helps some. And he doesn't have to shut it off to make it up the long grades. :)
