I have this model and it is an 86 Wolfsburg.  I like it at least a well as
previous Westy that I owned.  I never found much use for cooking on the
inside propane stove.  I carry a neat little one burner gas stove and a
couple of jugs of water.  Rigged me a little table out the side door for
cooking etc.  There seems to be much more room inside for BSing or playing
cards around the table.
