Apples and oranges, two different Camper models. My
non-GL Camper didn't come with swivel seats so the
battery compartment access might be similar to the
non-camper vans. Also, my Camper came from
VW/Westfalia with an auxiliary battery in place, so
it's possible that the compartment was factory
modified, I don't have another Vanagon handy to
compare it to.

Here's a photo of my aux battery compartment and all
the wires, terminal strips and relays under the
drivers seat:

It used to look nice, looks like it's time to reroute
some wiring again.

Good luck,
