Tim, maybe they didn't offer the '84 up Non-GL Camper in Canada?
There were "standard" Westy's up till about '83 or so here in the US that had
everything a full "deluxe" westy had (including the sink), except the stove
and the fridge. On the Standards the icebox replaced the fridge. This was a
practice carried over from the "deluxe" and the "standard" westy's of the
mid-to late '70's.
In '84 they changed the interior and dropped the sink from the "standard" or
"Non-GL" Westy line.

that's not the case on the '84-up US spec non-GL campers. On '83 down, yes,
but on '84 up, no.

Not here in the US.

the '90-'91 Multivans here say the same thing, but, the Multivan was only
offered '90-'91 here in the US.
