Got one.  Love it.  Put a Westfalia interior into it.  Now it’s perfect. The A’wagen cabinets are okay, but designed for touring, not camping.  When the bed’s made up, you haven’t any standing room at all.  I wanted a 3 way refrigerator as we typically stay in one spot for a few days and a battery powered one was good for about 24 hours. A three way was not possible with the A’wagen layout. Loved the furnace, the rest just didn’t work too well for us.

All in all, the early wood grain Westy interior and the Propex and the miscellaneous small parts to make the change ran about $1500. I kept the A’wagen propane and holding tanks. Eventually, I’ll hook the gauge panel back up. 

There’s an Adventurewagen Yahoogroup that may have more thoughts for you.

Bottom line? A’wagen with Westy interior is perfect enough that we’ll be selling the Westy that we have.  We simply don’t use it much any more.
