I'm not sure how adding this cabinet would be an
"upgrade" to a "westy", since it is 1-1/2" narrower
and 10-1/2" shorter than the rear cabinet in a GL
Camper. The rear shelf or A/C housing would need to be
extended by 1-1/2" and the cabinet for the water tank
by 10-1/2".

My camper also has a molded filler plate on the A/C
duct housing to fill in the gap left by the
differences in cabinet size, since the same A/C duct
housing is used on both camper models. You would need
to find this part or a have the seller provide it
since it is NLA from VW. I have a photo of this part
here

The device mounted to it is for my wireless
headphones.

IMHO, it would be simpler to cut a large side door in
your existing cabinet and trim it out with nice edging
if that's what you really wanted.
