The change occurred in the middle of the '89 model year.  Early '89 Westies
have the blocked closet door; mid to late '89 Westies don't.

It's amazing that as ingenious as the engineers at Westfalia were in most
regards, it took them 10 years to come up with this simple improvement -
especially given that anyone who camped in a Westy for a single weekend
almost immediately saw the need for it!  Then again, it could have been
worse; for four years ('76-79) you had to swing out that same table just to
get into the fridge!
