Subject:Re: Electrical Problems in 80 Westfalia
Date:29 Jul 96 08:50:56 PDT

I too had problems with my camper wiring.  I installed a completely 
separate fuse box behind the drivers seat on the front cabinet wall 
just for the camper.  Also, my dancinglights panel was always ON. I'm 
hoping that it was due to being an early '80.  I put in a switch so I 
can watch dacninglights only when I wanted! (and save on battery)
