Subject:      The seven passenger Westy

Hi All,

There's been a thread going around about nine passenger vans. It
certainly depends on your lifestyle, like if you use your van for your
child's sports team, but nine people is an awful lot!

For those of us who bought our vans at least in part for camping I
find my seven passenger arangement hard to beat in terms of people
carrying while maintaining all the camper equipment.

IN front I have the regular westy captains chair for the driver and
beside me is a front two person bench from an old "transporter"
vanagon that slides directly onto the westy swivel rails. You loose
the walk through and the swivewl feature of both chairs but gain one
more person up front.

In the large westy passenger area I have a slide in two person bench,
and at the rear the standard westy two person z-bed. So 3+2+2=7, a
seven passenger westy. I've only ever had all seats full ONCE but its
nice to know I can...
