Westfalia interior removal

Post by Bucketbabe »

Ok, I've looked in the wiki and done a thread search.. But not found too many answers.

So, here goes: anyone removed a Westfalia interior? Any tips or hints to share?
How easy? How long will it take?
It's just the units, not the bed.
Thanks guys

It's not hard. Just take your time and don't force anything. Bag the screws and tape to the piece of furniture they come from. Take pics of any wire you have to disconnect.

Hi Jane, you've spent the weekend gazing on it's brown and beige gorgeousness, what do you think?
It is going back in of course, just not in our van

This PDF on the http://www.westfaliat3.info site is a German language repair manual for the Joker & California interior which shows a lot of the removal and installation sequences/ fixing locations/ etc.

Ah, bless you.
Yes we are. With Winchweight's imagination, creative thinking, workmanship, attention to detail, ideas for clever use of space and dedication paired with my tea bringing skills we'll hopefully have something pretty special
