jeez..  ive taken apart a bunch of vans but i've never found mice  nests in
the dash..  mostly they make their nests in the westy  cabinets..  i think the

advantage of the fiberglass insulation  behind the cabinets to line their
nests...





Well, this must be an eastern Canadian thing as I  too have found many, many
mice nests in the front heater when going in there  doing that R&R of the
front heater blower motor dance !  You have to  remember that most all the Westy
owners up our way put their rides into some  kind of storage for the Canadian
winter.  Not all can afford the luxury of  those climate controlled storage
places, soooooo--------use your imagination !
