One big thing in the older versions is the correct wiring diagram for
the very early Westy campers. It is missing in the later version Bentley
with the middle version diagram mislabeled as correct for all 80-85,
which it ain't. 80-81 or so is substantially different with no fuses
behind the driver's seat and no fridge relay under the driver's seat.
These items are connected differently and located elsewhere, inside the
kitchen unit itself.

The early version Bentleys in general have more errors and omissions so
I would prefer the latest other than for the 80-81 Camper stuff.

There are about 8 versions of the Bentley that I have owned at one time
or another. I think I have 5 versions currently. I sometimes crosscheck
procedures in different ones and important stuff has changed.

For diesel owners, the early books show the same wiring diagram for
82-83 diesel and this is a big error. Many things changed in 83 wiring.
