It's certainly not from an '81 Westy, of course. Without seeing it, it may be the fridge from a '76-79 Westy. If so, it's the same design as the Vanagon one but with no propane operation. Not a particularly useful fridge, because the interior volume is small and what is there is largely taken up by the heatsink (coldsink??) thing that cools the interior (which sticks out into the fridge, not just along the back wall as on a Vanagon fridge). It is not self-contained (the exterior is unfinished) and must be mounted in a cabinet. And yes, it is a power hog like the Vanagon one. The other possibility is that it could be the coolbox from a late model Multivan; similar design but self-contained and with more interior space. (Did that one work on 110, or just 12 volt? I don't recall.)
