Subject: 5th seat for Westy

Hi all,

We are (unexpectedly) expecting our third child in March and need a
single
middle seat for our Westy to accommodate the new arrival. I've seen the
two
passenger middle seat but it seems awkward for camping. I've also seen a
rear facing jump seat mounted behind the passenger seat in some later
Vanagons that looks convenient space-wise, but it doesn't look as safe
and
comfortable as the single pedestal middle seat.

Any feedback on these options will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Scott
Go for the single pedestal midle seat. Easy to install and remove and
can be used as a outside seat while camping (you may want to
cover/protect it by covering it with a blanket though). you can even
install a headrest on it.Bonus: lockable storage box underneath, swivel
seat (pedestal ???) and adjustable armrests. I had 2...kept one, sold
the other one. PS The bed can be used without removing the seat...very
practical for one-night camping when both beds are needed and it's
raining and dark outside...With my Paulchen rack, one of the best buy
buy I made.
