They surely misunderstood you. Doing the Z bed is an hour tops. Depends on how good you want it, like headliner details or something like that, but the rear cabinet isn't that big a deal. The jump seat needs floor mounts welded in or something like that. And if you want that pop-out table.........the ones I have seen use paneling there different than the ordinary cloth covered paneling on a regular passenger vanagon.........so that might be a little involved, and I could imagine 'some' welding there possibly. You should search for articles and how-two things on group sites. It might be well documented , with pictures and instructions. 25 to 30 hours sounds like a bit much. And you didn't say what that is in dollars, but sounds like $ 2,000 roughly, to me. I would think 12 hours would go a long way.

I also asked if they would install it, since it would be better for me to drive there to pick it. They quoted me a time of 25 to 30 hours to install this in an '82 passenger van (one that I'm considering buying) My only thought is that they misunderstood what I was asking them to do. They say that it involves modifications to the roof and welding. I'll contact them again tomorrow. Has anyone here put a Westy weekender interior (pop-up table panel, one rear-facing seat, and z-bed, possible the one rear cabinet) in a passenger van? If so, about how long did it take?
