Subject: Re: More on Westy Interior changes, '68-'72
Joe:
I happen to have a Westy manual for 1967 Campmobile's :):). It is a
photocopy, and is not 100% complete but it is a completists wet dream. tell
you what joe;, you send me a copy of your 68-72 manual, and i'll send you
one of my 67' is it a deal?
>I have a real treasure: and official Campmobile Parts Catalog for

>AHAHAHAHA snurk! snurk! ... excuse me. But it _is_ a completist's wet dream.

>Anyhoo, some notable changes (doing this sans book, now):
>
>The rear overhead cargo net became an open-fronted cabinet around '70.
>No changes to clothes cabinet or rear seat in that period. Jumpseat
>(behind driver) saw minor changes. About '71 the sink got a vent pipe.
>Somewhere about 70=71 the sink became stainless (was plastic). The
>brace for the sink lid (when open) was eliminated in favor of offset
>hinges. About the same time the knife drawer was discontinued in favor of a
>drop-down door into the entire undersink area. Minor changes to the
>racks in the cooler. The outside socket went through several versions.
>The poptop and folding cot remained unchanged.

>IMHO the most difficult parts to find for this series:
>-Faucet that works (and hasn't lost its discharge pipe)
>-Uncracked plastic sink
>-Table that latches properly in the stored position.
>-Hammock, if it was misplaced -- especially the blue end-cover.
>-Stool, with leather strap for attaching to side of sink cabinet.
>-Cooler trays.
>-plastic trim that encircles sunroof cutout in bus body
>
>The book includes all part numbers, inluding those for the tent. Nice
>sketches. No, you can't have it, it's mine. Happy to provide details &
>P/Ns on request -- this would be KILLER if it was for pre-67's.
