you got the rear sofabed from a 80 standard (P26) westy...with no
stove/fridge.   therefore it was a full length.   the deluxe (P28) westys had
the sofabed like all the later westys - stopping just short of the left wall
for the water tank cabinet.   the standard westys had the water tank under
the sofabed.  did you get that too?
