Subject:Re: 110-volt Hookup box wanted

I've always wondered what they did in Canada with that hookup. Are you
planning to install the GW box in the lower location?  Does that pull-out
wire go all the way to the duplex outlet inside?  What failed in the
original install?

Attachments are stripped on this list, so please send photo to me directly.
I've got some ideas for you but I need to see what you have. Photos of
what's inside the cabinet would be helpful too.  There are options other
than a box, but it's important that there is a large ground wire to the
chassis somewhere in this hookup.

Subject: 110-volt Hookup box wanted

Hi All,

I have a 1984 Vanagon Westfalia that I purchased new in Canada. It has the
110-volt hookup box situated in the lower rocker cover, plus a long cable
that can be pulled out from it. In the US versions, all three access boxes
are at the same waist-high level below the side windows and there is no long
cable.

I recently purchased a Go Westy replacement 110-volt hookup box that
requires the electrical box located behind the hookup box on US Westfalias,
as shown in the attached pix. I need this box to ensure a safe 110-volt
system, but Go Westy doesn't sell them.

Does anyone have a spare of this box they can let me have or sell me, or
point to where I can buy one online?

Stuart
