Hi volks ! I'm a relatively new reader and this is my first contribution. I've only had my '86 Syncro Westy for about six weeks, and I've got a couple of questions: 1) Does anyone know where I can find camper parts ? I need that locking plug for the water tank and the window lock for the right side sliding window (in the sliding door). I filled out the on-line quotation form on the Bus Depot's Web site and never got a reply. I always thought the plug for the water tank was to prevent someone from spiking your water, but after getting a price quote for one from a VW dealer, I now think its to prevent it from being stolen ! 2) I went to a Westy meet a couple of weeks ago and the campground had the electrical and water connections, so I tried them out and the sink and fridge worked fine. The following morning, my girlfriend noticed water dripping from the right-hand side of the bus, under the open sliding door where the center seat rails are. I turned off the pressure on the hose connection and the dripping stopped almost immediately. I turned it back on and the dripping resumed. That's when I noticed the fridge had stopped as well (@#&*). I was able to getting going on gas, and it works on battery power with the engine running, but it hasn't worked on AC since then. I know I must have a leak somewhere, but could that leak have caused a short in the fridge ? Is there a fuse to change somewhere ?
