Subject:Re: WTB: rear linen closet - advice needed

You'll want to look for a rear cabinet out of a '85-87 camper (non-GL) or
'90-91 multivan. The closet door is on the right side of the cabinet
instead of on the front side so you can open it when the back seat is up. It
is also 1-2" narrower and about 6" shorter (front to back) than a similar
cabinet from a GL camper, otherwise the back of your full width rear seat
would hit it.

If you find one, grab the evaporator cover with the ducting and blowers
also. The cover is also unique to those particular model campers since it is
an inch or two wider than one you would find in a GL camper.

Good luck,
