Hey! That's my Westy. I'd be willing to let mine go for a mere $11,000.00.
No ladder, no awning, no trailer, no bike rack, no bra, almost near like
showroom condition, and near 140K miles but a bargain nonetheless. It still
has the true sign of a well taken care of Westy--both original ice trays in
the Dometic.
