It's certainly not from an '81 Westy, of course. Without seeing it, it may
be the fridge from a '76-79 Westy.  If so, it's the same design as the
Vanagon one but with no propane operation.  Not a particularly useful
fridge, because the interior volume is small and what is there is largely
taken up by the heatsink (coldsink??) thing that cools the interior (which
sticks out into the fridge, not just along the back wall as on a Vanagon
fridge).  It is not self-contained (the exterior is unfinished) and must be
mounted in a cabinet.  And yes, it is a power hog like the Vanagon one.  The
other possibility is that it could be the coolbox from a late model
Multivan; similar design but self-contained and with more interior space.
(Did that one work on 110, or just 12 volt? I don't recall.)
