Subject:features on the lesser westy?
From:mac stricklen

For my second attempt at owning a vanagon, I'm eyeing this nicely
redone '80 westy.  It has the package that I think was known at the
"basic" camper.  Anyone familiar with this?

The "fridge" is really more of a cooler from what I understand--it
doesn't produce any cold of its own.  Does anyone have any experiences
with these?  What's the best way to cool stuff in it?  How long can I
expect to keep stuff cold and how cold will that be?

Mine also has a vestigial little seat that faces sideways between the
"sleeper sofa" and the fidge/sink.  Under this seat is a little
storage space accessed from the top by removing the seat cushion.  I
thought this might be a nice place to store a porta-potty (which
according to the catalog is 14" diameter by 14" high).  I forgot to
measure this opening when I was looking over the van, doing that "do I
want to buy it or not" thing.  Anyone know if that's a good
porta-potty place?  If not any suggestions?

thanks,
mac
