James, forgot to mention one item (as I have not already thrown enough
garbage your way) while a middle seat can be mounted that still allows
you fold down the rear camper seat - I have a idea to throw at you.  My
buddy, in his nice 74 Ford Econoline, mounted his middle seat facing
backwards.   Then you still have a good dog bed, and a living room
arrangment so to speak. The "cuddy" betwwen the front and middle seats is
a good place to store   Hey, another folding seat just might meet up with
the rear seat creating one giant massive bed!  OK, I'm going off the deep
end!

Another note - my buddy has two pop-up sunroofs, one just behind the
front seats and one in the very rear.  With the canoe on top, these can
be opened in the rain without any rainfall coming in the van.

Want one more idea from him? - His massive home made skate board is used
as a table between the two seats giving a new meaning to multi purpose
furniture.
