here are some pictures, but they are older. Some minor changes are made. I got more pictures and better pictures from other busses, i never take pictures of the bus
I don't have waterbottles inside, under the complete kitchen is a polyester compartment for water, on the last image you see the plug to fill it. This also cools (colder) the fridge.
from march the bus will be back from wintersleep, i drove 1 winter but it wasn't a succes.

How do you go about draining the water tank. The Inlet is the gas looking cap on the side of the cabinets for the water right. |

Draining is under the bus, there is a tube dan you can turn open. Filling is bij the gas looking cap.
I also got an old 230V socket on the backside. I will try to make pictures of the table for you, as soon as i go to the storage.
(Karmann1952 have i already placed and spoken to and seen his bus in real)

Ya I'm in the United States and I can't find one. I would like to have that back upper cabinet for my 1966 euro so - 44 dormobile. That is the only thing that is missing but back when these buses were ordered that was a high dollar option. |

It,s a euro so-44 dormobile. It was ordered new from germany. A manager of a large vw dealership in hunting beach california is the one that ordered it. It came factory with locking steering. |

Sorry, no. There was another SO44 here in the St. Louis area I saw about 15 years ago. It was missing the same cabinet. It's like almost every SO44 I have ever seen is missing it. _________________ '57 sunroof Standard

Hay here to go. Nice bus does yours have the little seat and table? If so can you post a good picture of it? I think most of the so - 44 was missing that back upper cabinet. I think most people took them out.
