The fridge in my '75 Westfalia Deluxe opens from the front, like your '79.
Other equipment includes, well, the usual:
pop-top, 2 double beds, 1 hamac to be hung over the front seats, fridge
(electric) and double gas stove above, closet in the back where they
usually put the spare tire, trunk under the rear bench, water container
and sink with electric pump, jump seat usually strapped between the front
seats (it's also a box which we use for maps, tapes, CDs, etc.), a small bench
squeezed between the sink and the rear bench, a removable table, a board
that fits between the sink and the stove top to create a large cooking
surface, another small table with to be attached to the dash between the 2
front seats, electric hookup, city water hook-up, did I forget anything?
