Geez, guys, so negative! As the owner of an '85 Weekender, I kinda liked the interior on this one. The Weekender is my third Vanagon Westy, two prior were full campers and I never used the fridge, used the stove maybe twice. Did use the sink from time to time, mostly for my contact lenses if the camp ground bathroom was skanky! I like the extra space. Jeff Stewart ----- Original Message -----
