I'm  talking about the one that runs from a spigot to the city water inlet.
 Is there one that came with the van or did the PO just have some random
garden center hose stored under the back seat?  Anyway, at one point that
one migrated out of the camper and into the garage (not my fault--talk to the
gardener).  Not wanting to let the Westy stuff get lost or separated I
decided to put it back where it belongs but discovered we have two
white-with-blue-stripe garden hoses, so which is the Westy one?  One is  opaque white
with three longitudinal blue stripes, evenly spaced around the  hose from
another, and the other is translucent with a single blue stripe and  the
crisscross reinforcing weave visible.  Have not found a precise  description
online at vendors' sites or in  forums.

as far as i know there was never a hose included with the westfalia
package.   you supply your desired garden hose type hose that runs  from a
campside or house spigot to your westy.

as for power cord - i have seen heavy black power cords in westys that had
"germany" stamped into them, so i am assuming these may have been part of
the  westy package on some year westys.. but not all years.
