Oh, boy have you stumbled on to a question!  Check the archives [something
I've never mastered myself] there is a ton on this.

Basically the westy were set up for this.  Check the compartment under the
driver's seat, opens the same way about as the one under the passenger seat,
and there may already be an electrical setup to do this.  If not, it's
relatively easy to do and the list vendors have the parts and instructions.
