Ron,

The '85 Westy has rails so a seat slides in and then bolts down.  Takes
about 10 minutes.  I have a two person seat and another single seat.  The
wide seat blocks opening the refrigerator door.

The childs bed is two rails with a canvas bed like a camp cot.  It reaches
from the drivers door to the passengers door and slides into brackets
screwed to the door frames.  It has cloth sides which pull up and fasten 
to the top of the doors so the kid can't roll out.  This was original
optional equiopment.

Has anyone else ever seen a childs cot for a Vanagon Westy? 
I didn't know they existed.
