One additional thought:  Since you mentioned you were a recent Westy
owner -- perhaps you have plugged it into the outlet by the back seat,
leaving the cord where it can be tripped over by the unwary or
forgetful.  If so, an alternative would be to use the outlet (hidden)
inside the undersink cabinet (where your 'fridge is plugged in).  This
would allow routing the cord along/below the ridge behind the front
seating area and into the undersink area thru the gap below the driver's
side B pillar.

BTW: This outlet is also a fine place to plug in a GE Brightstik which
can be mounted on underneath side of the overhead valence/tray.
