Two EV's might be near what you want.
EV MV = What I and I think Ric and several others have.
Fold down rear seat bed.
two rear facing "jump" seats for "middle" seat.
pull up table w/ flourescent light above it.
EV MV Weekender = almost camper
Added pop up roof (Westy not Winnie)
One of the rear seats isn;t pull out and has a D/C powered cooler
under it.
You figure out which suits the bill since you described a combination.
Ric's beed describing taking his MV camping successfully. We use a
cooler plugged into the Cigarette lighter. Bigger and probably better
than the cooler seat version. I can even seatbelt strap mine into one of
the two jump seats. The jump seats take seconds to pop in and out. Rear
seat takes moments to fold down. More time removing the headrests than
anything else. No experience with the Winnie "low-profile" pop top.
Much sleeker looking than the Bay window or Vanagon pop tops.
Course it will have to be a '93. Typical price for a '93 MV seems to be
14 or 15K. I get as good a gas mileage with my EV as my silly brother
gets with his Dodge. About 19mpg. I understand the standard
transmission gets better - I wish I had it but the auto works well.
