In my '77 Westy the large table and its support pipe (which mounts on the rear of the main cabinet) must be removed before the rear seat can be converted into a bed. Has anyone modified the rear seat bottom to eliminate this interference? It looks as if all it would take would be an oval cut out, about one inch deep, in the plywood base -- the upholstery would compress when the bed is pulled out against the support pipe. I am reluctant to take a saw to my camper, but it would sure be nice to be able to pull out the bed without removing the table when I pull dog tired off a highway into a rest stop. I would greatly appreciate advice from those who have considered this modification. Kirk Hilliard kdh5j@virginia.edu '77 Westy
