I have a factory Camper Manual for the 83.5 Westy.
In time I will scan it in for those who need it.
PDF format.
It will take about a week to do.

Subject: 83.5 Westfalia questions

Hi all:
I don't have a Camper owners manual so could use a little clarification:

1) The outside water inlets: 1 is for city (hose fitting), the other is
for the onboard storage tank? Does anyone know the tank capacity?

2) There is a white plastic drain with a threaded pipe cap and yellow
nib thingy in it. This drain pipe discharges right behind the propane
tank.
Does this drain the water storage tank (clean water) or the refuse water
from the sink?
If its for the refuse water, how do I drain the clean water tank?

3) I have developed a "clicking" when accelerating from a start in first
and sometimes second gear. I am sure it's a CV... but how to tell which
one?
Any suggestions? Is one the usual suspect more than others?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Rio
