lots good parts still left on that westy that dont burn:

-swival seat mechanisms
-table mounts, bases, and arms
-stove parts, burner cover, stove grilles, etc
-fridge parts - (lots of times the fire doesnt make it into the fridge, so
the fridge may still be good)
-flue vent
-sofabed hinges
-poptop hinges, latch, lift bars
-LP tank
etc....
