Vanagon Westies never had this feature AFAIK, but they were real nice
to have on the Deluxe 76-79 Bay Window Westies.

I have a small Sears Battery Charger setup in my Pantry cabinet that's
plugged into the 110V outlet inside for the fridge and is hard wired
to the batteries (I have 2) for when I'm connected to shore power
(it's set on a 2amp trickle rate).  Been using this setup for about 14
years now with no problems
