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 >'68-'72, with exploded drawings of _every_ Westy-specific part. >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).

Minor changes to the >racks in the cooler.
