Just a clarification on that last part for those who may not have seen
how these work in a camper:

these two person seats, when put into a westfalia camper span the full
width from the refrigerator to the sliding door.  Though I like mine
(original equipment in my 1984 Wolsberg Westfalia GL) for allowing me to
carry 6 people it is worth noting that the people in the "way back" are
stuck back there until the door is opened.  They cannot squeeze around
the middle two person bench seat in a westie.  They can climb over it,
and when the door is opened and the middle seat is tilted forward, they
can exit the vehicle.  The people in the middle seat have way more knee
room than the people _behind_ the middle seat.

They obviously work better when they can be bolted down in a
left-justified position.  They are not very difficult to put in and take
out.  They certainly extend the season and usage modes for my vanagon.
