I think my 85 is good except it doesn’t have a battery clamp.

I’d love to know just how that looks and works.  Anyone making a reproduction or improvement.  my battery moves around.  My positive wire insolation was completely worn down in spots when I got the van.  amazing it didn’t have a problem.  I taped it up, put in a barrier between the metal, and still wish I had the correct battery clamp!

Okay folks, I'm curious about something. How many of you camper/Weekender owners have unmolested battery boxes behind the passenger seat? How many intact boxes have you seen? I’m not going to bother to ask how many still have the battery hold down clamp.

The box on my ’84 was fine because I bought it when it was only two years old, and I’m not an idiot. But, both my son’s ’87 and my current ’85 have butchered boxes. Mine is sawed 3” down both sides for easy bending (hard on the carpet), and my son’s box back edge was hammered into oblivion. 

It’s too bad Westfalia Werks didn’t put an instruction label on the battery cover, it was a terrible oversight. 😉
