I also had a Volkswagen Thing/Safari. Loved it but it did have its quirks. The cabin heater pulled gasoline from the tank and ignited it with a spark plug. So you had a blow torch going behind the firewall but with no fan, ducts or cabin insulation there was no heat reaching the cabin while you were in motion, the only noticeable effect was lower gas mileage.
