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.

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.

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.
