I purchased my storage box at the factory in Weidenbruck when we picked up our
european delivery Westfalia (summer ‘82). The box is designed to hold a porta-
potty and  secures behind the passenger seat with leather straps similar to
those  used for the rubberized cloth storage bag which is mounted above the
driver‘s cabin. There is a cutout in the side of the box for operating the
flushing handle. I purchased the porta-potty at a nearby camping supply place
that Mrs. Woods (she was the US/European delivery coordinator at Westfalia for
many years) had directed me to. At the same time I purchased an awning, a
small spare plastic gas/diesel can which cleanly fits inside the compartment
to the left of the fridge, an umbrella (Westfalia markings) and a Vanagon
Westfalia model miniature for my then 2 year old son. Good memories. Only the
model has been lost over the years.
