table, and = swivelling captain's
chairs. Ht also has external hook-
ups for AC 110 current (with a
two-plug outlet on the inside), city
water connection, and a refillable
50-litre water tank. A 120-litre
propane tank is located under the
left side.

Missing are a toilet and a fur-
nace heater, but portable units
could solve this problem.

The pop-up top tits up at for-
ty-five degrees from the rear and
is easy to unlatch and push up in-
to place. Lined with a canvas ten-
ting material, the top allows oc-
cupants to stand up, and features
a large mosquito-net opening for
ventilation as well as a roof-vent
in the fiberglass top.

A folding bed on the top flips
forward and is long and wide
enough for two people to sleep
comfortably; kowever, climbing
up to the bed can be difficult as
there are no steps. On the ‘main
floor’, a rear bench seat folds flat

10 create another Iwo-person bed.

1 wonid highly recommend the
oplional, rear air-conditioning
system. A few hours driving in
southern California or other
southern climes without air condi-
tioning is akin to a slow death.

A few suggestions thai arose
out of my tip: a vinyl floor
would be more mractical than a
carpeted onc; it’s much easier to
keep clean. Secondly, the fridge
will actually freeze ice cubes when
hooked up to external AC power,
but running on battery power, the
ice melts. Thirdiy, some pull-out
cupholders for the driver and pas-
senger would be handy.

tarting at about $26,000 and
topping out at about $30,000 for
the fully-equipped model, the
Westfclia seems expensive. How-
ever, Westfalia owners could con-
ceivably drive this vehicle to wark
as well as on holidays, saving
themselves the cost of a second
vehicle.
