Subject:Re: Westy year-to-year changes?

Just a couple comments/corrections to Jon's list of Westy layouts:

>'68-'72 Gold Vinyl camper upholstery
>	ice box no sink behind passenger seat -'71
>	ice box/sink passenger side '72 + '73

'71 did have a sink behind the passenger seat.

>	Non-Deluxe had icebox instead of fridge, and no stove..

This is '74-75 layout only (not '76).  Deluxe had fridge, stove, propane 
setup, city water hookup, second battery with charger, and (in '75) an 
additional seat on side wall next to sink cabinet.

This was '76-79, not 77-79.  Deluxe also included city water hookup, 
propane, 2nd battery with charger, center jumpseat/storage box, 
dash-mounted table. Nicest layout, in my opinion.

Also all years from '74 on had the new poptop style, which opened in toward 
the front and had a full-sized double bed up top instead of just a cot.
