Hmmmm.  My air vent tag says Typ 23-42 and my behind-the-seat-plate has a
model of 2312.  Does this mean that my bus was built as a Wanna-be-Westy???
The PO says it was a camper but the sink and other goodies were yanked out
along the way.  It does have jalousie windows, cabinets, table,
fold-down-into-a-bed rear seat---hey, wait a minute! I thought all Westy
campers had pop-tops.  Apparently not!  Joel, change the stats!

Ok, anybody have a sink/stove/fridge for a '67 camper?

Bob.
