Jeff -

My first Westy was an 83.5 Canadian model.  It had the lower electrical port
with a permanently attached power cord stored inside, and no dish drainer
over the stove.  The metric speedometer made me feel like I was going fast,
and complicated checking fuel economy.  There may be other differences.

I was told that Canada required RVs to have a permanently installed cord.
US models don't, so you are free to forget to take one with you.  <G>

Go on . . .  Why?  What?  Who?  When?  Is it different inside?  Where is
your electrical cable stored?
