Westfalia / Fan installation in fiberglass roof

« on: September 07, 2016, 07:16:34 pm »

Kind of an odd question, but has anyone tried or considered installing an RV fan in the Westfalia fiberglass top near the front of the vehicle, where the ceiling of the fiberglass roof is exposed to the driver and passenger seats? Thinking something along the lines of a Maxxair or Fan-Tastic. Not that I've taken the time to measure, but I'm thinking it could be really nice to have, at least when the top is down. Not sure how it would work w/ the wires when raising and lowering the top though...

Never been happy w/ the output from my headlights on my 93 Weekend MV. Has anyone tried the HE replacement bulbs from GoWesty? http://www.gowesty.com/product-details.php?id=24115 - looks like this would work well (and better than stock). I haven't found any other solutions outside of this.. does anyone know of any other lighting upgrades? Or do these GoWesty bulbs make a big difference?

Just installed the Eurocamper version in my 93 MV Weekender. Quick and easy to install, impressed w/ the build quality. The seat is very noticeably higher now. I'm 5'10", if I was much taller I'd have trouble feeling comfortable w/ the space b/w my head and the ceiling. Luckily I put it on the passenger side only, where my wife always sits and she's a bit shorter than me, so it shouldn't be an issue. If you're tall though, I would be hesitant.. I can see the appeal to taking the other approach described in this thread where the height stays close to stock.

Since I don't use the rear jump seat, I simply repurposed the seat belt latch from that seat to reach the extra height required. Other than the height issue, I'm happy with the install.

Cole, on the floor product page it says your vinyl flooring works in 99-03 vans, but in this thread there is a picture of a 93. Does the floor fit a 93 as well, and are there any modifications needed to make it work w/ a 93 MV Weekender?

I just received the Eurocampers version and will be installing it this weekend. Can update here once it's installed. Will be going in a 93 MV.
