warren, just buy a passenger van and put a poptop on it.    removing the
westy interior from your '88 westy will make it worthless for resale..   trust
me on this.
 eventually, some day will come and you'll need to sell it.

they also make westy weekenders '85-'87 and the multivan '90-'91  both are
poptops w/ no kitchen stuff.   buy one of those and sell your '88 westy..

'88 westys are worth 10-15 grand now..   if you remove the campers stuff it
would kill its value.
