Point for discussion w/ the list...
I always thought that in the basic camper (non-propane) that there was
no fridge of any kind, just an icebox like the Bus non-deluxe campers
had.  But Bentley seems to indicate that it is a fridge, but that it is
only operated electrically (like the Bus deluxe Westy fridges were) and
not on propane too like the deluxe Vanagon Westy.  Does anyone have any
definitive info on this, because now I am curious :-)
