I think I lost the last of my sanity when I lived in NC. It would be located near the coast though. I lived in Morehead City, then (little) Washington, then Wilmington. Next time you visit any of those you might have a look for bits and pieces of it there. Sorry I could not be of any help on Vanagon parts. See you at Everybus.

I used a Coleman fridge for years, it worked great, stayed cool while driving and while camping we moved it outside the bus and was very convenient.....

The only downfall is that when it gets REAL hot out it does not cool as well. But, it kept milk and cheese and food good enough, and then we carried just a normal cooler for drinks on ice......

Thanks for the info guys. I should have said I am seeking an original Riviera Fridge. A westy model would do too.

thanks mark. The 85 riviera I just purchased is missing the firdge but the cabinet is still there. I'd like to find something that will fit in the same hole and look like it is supposed to be there. I'll look around at Everybus.

Hi Erik, The vanny is a 3 way. The late bays are a top load fridge that sits beside the back seat, I'm sure not compatable with the rivi cabs. I can get some dimensions if you like. I will be heading north in june, could meet up somewhere if you don't locate one by then.

the riviera has the top load intact. its the upright fridge that goes under the stove that I am looking for. can you send pics of the 3way from the vanny?
