I have a brown 2-pass corduroy seat from an '82 that I occasionally use in my Westy. No go on opening the fridge, but you can get to all of the other cabinets easily enough. It's easy enough to pull the seat out when you get to wherever, and now you have a camp chair! I would recommend finding the type of seat that has a folding-forward seat back- mine doesn't, and it's not much fun sliding past it into the rear seat. I have a pair of rails out of a passenger van if you're looking for rails- pmail if interested. -Simon
