100% GoWesty-designed complete hook-up box kit.
We designed our new and improved hook-up boxes to look similar to the original design, but that's where the similarities end! These were designed in-house by a team of professional engineers, and we are extremely proud of the results. We have invested some serious time and energy into the creation of these superior hook-up boxes. We are confident that you'll be very happy with them—in short, these are the last hook-ups you'll ever buy! To read more about the history of the original hook-ups, please click here.
Each hook-up box features the following improvements:
• Crafted from superior UV-resistant materials.
• Frame fastener holes are counter-bored instead of tapered—no cracking!
• Added extra material to known weak points of original design—no more breaking!
• Innovative lid design: single piece with molded pivot points (we were tired of the flimsy door, metal hinge, and poor spring design).
• Lid pivot points are captured by the frame and insert for simple, effective performance.
• Lid is held shut—and now open—by a smart cam and leaf spring mechanism.
• Entire design is modular—no more failure-prone glue, no more throwaway parts. We're talking replaceability and interchangeability!
• 100% designed and manufactured in the USA.
• Less expensive than the original design, and much improved!
In addition, we've made the following improvements to each individual box:
• Tank Filler Hook-up
- Omits the ridiculous break-off-in-the-hole skeleton key.
- Reinforced insert connection is much stronger than the original design.
- Features an intelligent quick-connect (and quick-disconnect) attachment for easy and tidy garden hose attachment. (Awesome!)
- Modern check-valve system eliminates the possibility of contamination.
• City Water Hook-up
- Reinforced insert connection is much stronger than the original design.
- Features an intelligent quick-connect (and quick-disconnect) attachment for easy and tidy garden hose attachment. (Awesome!)
- Modern check-valve system eliminates the possibility of contamination.
• 110v Electrical Hook-up
- Insert for electrical portion is much more durable than the original design.
Note: To connect a garden hose to your city water and/or tank filler hook-up box, you will need a female coupling for the end of your garden hose—which is included in this kit! It's a pretty nifty device, because it has an auto shut-off feature: when you pull it off your hook-up, the water flow STOPS. Yes, it's just as awesome as it sounds.

NOTE FOR CITY WATER HOOK-UP: Your GoWesty city water hook-up box has a built-in check valve that doubles as an over-pressure relief valve. The rubber ball in the hook-up will blow out if too much pressure is introduced into the system, thereby avoiding the possibility of breaking anything inside your Westy and causing a watery mess. When connecting an external water source to this hook-up box, we highly recommend one of our water pressure regulators. Water pressure above 55psi can not only cause damage inside your Westy, but it can also cause the check valve ball in the hook-up to blow out upon disconnecting the water source. Water freezing in the system can do the same, so we recommend always draining the system. To drain the city water plumbing, open the faucet to the city water position and, using a ball point pen, push in on the check valve ball at the hook-up point. Water should drain out sufficiently to keep the system from rupturing under freezing conditions.
