Subject:      Help with hookups on side of Westfalia.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

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!
