Hi Jeff,

The 1980 sales brochure lists two interior fabric colors for campers
here is the direct word for word write up in the brochure:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gazelle background multi-color "Boggie Woogie" cloth with Medium Blue
and Assuan Brown exteriors

Van Dyck background multi-color "Boggie Woogie" cloth with Ivory exterior.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Gazelle" is basically tan in color and "Van Dyck is a UPS van brown.
As is mentioned above the Gazelle "Boogie Woogie came with westies
that hade Blue or Brown exterior paint, and the Van Dyck "Boogie
Woggie" came with Ivory westies.

I have two small photos I could scan towards the end of the week if
you want a look see. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Chris
