It's not neccessarily a picture perfect stock setup, but I found out that the middle 2 person bench (the later one without a middle armrest) from my 88 GL fits rear-facing behind the passenger seat of our 90 Westy when the right seats' armrest is removed. I didn't permenantly attach it (was in a pinch and had to fit 6 people in it for a day), but with a set of the mounting rails and complete disregard for the condition of the original floor, I'm sure it could be easily bolted in. It blocks the walkthrough, which is quite a bummer, and it definately would suck for camping and using all of the goodies in the cabinets behind the driver's seat, but if you're just using the westy to scoot people around town, it's a very cool thing to carry more than 4 people.

Those rails are in the middle, though, which puts the middle seat somewhat near the rear seat when facing aft. They didn't put any rear facing jump seats in full campers that back up to the front seats. Mike
