That's all a little confusing.  The stock setup, on a Vanagon with the
Westfalia camper conversion, has a connector on the outside of the van,
drivers side, that when the flap is lifted exposes a male connector for 110v
AC cord.  That terminates two places.  First on the cabinets down by the
floor byu the rear seat, complete with a manual restable breaker between the
two outlets.  The second is inside the cabinet that holds the
stove/sink/refigerator and is located at the back of the storage under the
sink.  There will be one power cord already pluged into it from the
rifigerator.  Caveat here, I'm talking about a stock setup.  Some PO could
well have made changes.
BTW, the Canadian setup is just a little different.  The 110v AC connection
is at the bottom of the van on the left side, not with the water tank fill
or shore water connections.  And the Canadian setup has a cord already
attached, hard wired to the van.  It stores inside the little door and is
pulled out to connect to shore power.

And I really am puzzled by the comment about a gasket.
