A camping forum for VW bus and camper owners.
Howdy Folks,
I've removed the ac unit from my '85 Westy to convert that space back into storage - like it used to be pre-'85. I'm looking for the long, oval-shaped cabinet door to cover the opening. I've got the brown trim motif in my Westy. Anyone have one for sale, or know of a junkyard I could contact?
Thanks,
Greg H.

Just wondering.

Hey Larry,
Two things........
#1) The air conditioner has never worked ever since I first got the van, I've been told that the ac "performance" isn't all that great anyway, and to not spend the money to get it fixed. So, for the past 7 years, I've never used the ac. Yes.....I do live in a place where ac is not really needed (Santa Barbara, CA), but I probably wouldn't use it even if it worked for the extra draw on fuel consumption.
#2) Before owning this van, I owned an '81 air-cooled that did have the storage compartment I'm speaking of (complete with the nice oval-shaped cabinet door), and I liked that extra storage space. I'd like to get back to that design.
I guess I could always make a door myself, but the inside of my van happens to be in fantastic original condition, and I'd love to trim out the opening with a "correct" door.

Thanks for sharing, and hope to meet you some time at gathering.
