    Finally got one!

    Lovely looking westy. Perfectly normal to go through period of regret, hate, unreliability, expense until you get it to the stage it’s reliable and you make some awesome memories. Hang in there and enjoy!

    Whole unit out job but is very easy to do. I found a dead rat in mine and even though I bleached it many times I haven’t been able to bring myself to use it!!!

    Westy Roof Racks - what do you carry ?

    I also use the nlavw bag. Had it a few years and mainly put bedding in it. Never had a leak but beware when I first got it and held it up to the light it did have some pin holes in it. However on a run and when it tight the water just runs off. This summer I left a couple of things in it and...

    KAYAK ON ROOF?

    I haven’t but I saw two, 2 weeks ago near croyde with one on. One had high roof bars from the gutter rails so must have to remove when they want to pop the top and the second had them fixed into sides of westy pop top. Think I’d feel happier with the first!

    Beetle exhaust on a 1600 early bay westy

    Think I’ve seen it done twice now including today in the early Bay Area at Stanford hall. Sadly no one around to discuss. So although I’ve heard it can’t be fitted, it looks like it can. I quite fancy the nice little beetle engine sound. Anyone able to expand, thanks :D
