if you remove the westy interior, you will be left with 4 big useless holes
in the side of your van where the fill ports and flue vent used to be, not to
mention, you will have to also remove the left rear cabinet, as you cannot
install a weekender style full width sofabed there with the westy cabinet in
place..

poptop weekenders were made '85-'87, then 90-'91  theyre out there.  check
www.thesamba.com

why dont you just install a poptop section on a passenger van? i have some
poptops for sale..

that way you dont need to destroy a westy..
