We love our Weekender and specifically looked for one when we started
Westy/Vanagon shopping.  We had a 71 Westy that was pre-stove but did have
an sink/icebox behind the front passenger seat.  We would sometimes take it
out (once lost the cap to the water tank and one winter a mouse went down
inside and of course could not get out.  That van really stunk until the
rodent carcass was discovered) and use the van.

When we saw the Vanagon/Weekender interior arrangement we knew that was what
we wanted.

Good tip, Scott about removing that dad-blamed latch on the rear seat.  I'm
always futzing with it when having my hands full of stuff...  I have a kind
of phobia about removing anything that the Original German Engineers deemed
the vehicle needed.  Probably because then I have to put the removed part
away somewhere and keep track of it.
