I Agree with what chris is getting at.. don't jump to the obvious conclusion when a more clever one is readily available.. and the MIDDLE 2 pass slide in bench can be slid in backwards (some clever adjusting needed) to allow your 4 back seat passangers to face each other and possibly play roadgames.. also the middle bench can easily be slid out (needs to be for kitchen use/access and used in the adjoining cabin tent ( to house all of your roadweary guests.) don't give up on the camper.. too many people do stating 'too large a family' .. dan.. From: Christopher Gronski <gronski@GMAIL.COM> Subject: Re: Looking to Swap Interiors (Camper to 7 passenger) It is possible to seat seven in a full westy. I have the standard passenger van bench that many people have in the passenger area to seat two more people, and a bench from a transporter (vw commercial van) that replaces the passenger seat. So the seating arangement is: 3 in front (including driver) 2 in the middle 2 in back And I still have my AC, closet, water tank, and fridge / stove / sink combo= . The middle benches are pretty common, front benches come up on eBay from time to time. Before you part with your westy interior (and take on such a big job) you may want to consider some slide in benches. Chris
