Joe: I happen to have a Westy manual for 1967 Campmobile's :):). It is a photocopy, and is not 100% complete but it is a completists wet dream. tell you what joe;, you send me a copy of your 68-72 manual, and i'll send you one of my 67' is it a deal? >I have a real treasure: and official Campmobile Parts Catalog for >'68-'72, with exploded drawings of _every_ Westy-specific part. >AHAHAHAHA snurk! snurk! ... excuse me. But it _is_ a completist's wet dream. > >Anyhoo, some notable changes (doing this sans book, now): > >The rear overhead cargo net became an open-fronted cabinet around '70. >No changes to clothes cabinet or rear seat in that period. Jumpseat >(behind driver) saw minor changes. About '71 the sink got a vent pipe. >Somewhere about 70=71 the sink became stainless (was plastic). The >brace for the sink lid (when open) was eliminated in favor of offset >hinges. About the same time the knife drawer was discontinued in favor of a >drop-down door into the entire undersink area. Minor changes to the >racks in the cooler. The outside socket went through several versions. >The poptop and folding cot remained unchanged. > >IMHO the most difficult parts to find for this series: >-Faucet that works (and hasn't lost its discharge pipe) >-Uncracked plastic sink >-Table that latches properly in the stored position. >-Hammock, if it was misplaced -- especially the blue end-cover. >-Stool, with leather strap for attaching to side of sink cabinet. >-Cooler trays. >-plastic trim that encircles sunroof cutout in bus body > >The book includes all part numbers, inluding those for the tent.
