Chris.......

The 253-070-506 is the correct # for the USA model with the outlet built
in, however technically speaking, it was obsoleted by VW/Westfalia in 1984
and was superseded/sold now as 255-070-521.  GoWesty just never updated the
number on their end.

Actually I should have been a bit more thorough in giving you the latest
part numbers....the numbers I gave you were what originally was equipped on
the Canadian Westy.  The 253-070-506A & 506C were replaced with:

255-070-521A    Receptacle w/Lid (Black)

Remember, this is just the plastic receptacle (all three numbers above)
that allowed the cord to just pass thru, it didn't included the cord which
had to be purchased separately (they never sold it as a complete assembly
at VW)

The cord part number is still the same:  231-070-533

Hope this helps :-)
