G'day, eh, and Happy New Year. I'm still shopping for my Ideal Westfalia and am trying to learn more about them as I go. Today I am wondering about the three black plastic flaps for the hookups on the side of the van. Here's what I think they do and my questions. PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong on any of this!! (This is from a ~1986 van)
Frontmost flap, around chest height: Hooks up to pressurized water so you don't have to use your tank and pump to use the sink. Middle flap, around knee height: Holds extension cord to plug 110V into the van. I think this powers the fridge in 110V mode and also provides power to the plug (?) Rearmost flap, around chest height again: Used to fill water tank. I have seen some models with a keyhole on the flap itself. It takes a plastic key I think. If you open the keyed flap, is there a second key required to actually fill the reservoir? How does this system work? Do some models have the plastic key for the flap and some have a real key for a locking cap for the filler as opposed to the flap?
Thanks!
