Hi George; the MaxxFan Dome Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # MA00-03812B will be perfect for your 1971 VW Bus Van. It isn't overly large but still has a fan capacity of 200 CFM to get that hot air out of the bus. It also circulates air like a ceiling fan when you close the vent to help keep things cool. Vents like this one are often found on smaller Class B motorhomes which are similar in size.
