I should have mentioned that when I got my '85 Westy, 5 years ago, the
drain below the fridge was packed tight with rust.  I had to "Rod it
out" with a coat hanger wire.  There was lots of rust in the burn
chamber, too.

I have no idea how the van was treated or cared for before I got it but
what I found was the first reason I looked for a flue cover.
