My camper is built in The Netherlands, but the layout is as the same as the 
European Westies.
I try to give you a layout of my campers rear seats:

Non sleeping position

             / ________
            /_|________|
      _____//   ^
      |    /   Additional box, 10cm high
______|___/


Sleeping position

    ___________________
             _|________|
        ___ /
       |   /
_______|__/


I am not sure, but the Westies in Europe will have the same mechanism and 
that flat box top of the engine's compartment. If you have that box and the 
wardrobe on the left side cutted on the lower end, you may rise the decklid 
to that level the engine need space for.
